The Ford Barn - View Single Post - cockpit room: roadster vs. roadster pickup

I live in Danville, California. I drove a 29 closed cab pickup to Portland, OR and back. Sold it very soon after because of the lack of room. I drove my 29 roadster to Addison Tx and back and to many other shorter drives, Tahoe, Reno, Santa Maria and San Diego via Hwy 1. I still have it and intend to keep it. Miserable to get in and out of but seems to have better room once I'm in. I have short legs and a long body that didn't seem to fit into the pickup all that well. With the top down the roadster is easy to enter and exit, but not so with the top up. The worst part of the truck was no wiggle room for feet and it was very hot, partially due to a Cragar overhead valve setup that was the earlier iron one.
