[QUOTE=Kevin in NJ;1521375]Ya, a truck, not a tall persons best choice.

"Being 6' 6" and thin I can tell you that the pickup is not the best choice. Do you do yoga? :0

Just busting you some as I can feel your pain. Got stuck in a 28 roadster pickup once. My leg got in the wrong position on between the wheel and pedals and it took some work to move the leg out."

Same here. 6"6" and a Model A is a tight fit. AND I too drove a '28 Roadster pickup in a friend's funeral procession to the cemetery when he passed away. I got quite a lesson in that Model A, decided I would never have one as a driver

Neat vehicle. I like them but no way to get in and out of the thing and then once you are in there, trying to drive it,,,,,

. It was bad enough in our '28 Roadster but that PU was ten times worse.

A WWII vet that was a friend of the '28 Roadster pickup's owner (who was also a WWII vet) climbed in with me to go to the cemetery. He is short, about 5'5" at the very best, and he hopped in and out of that Roadster Pickup without batting an eye. Like a 16 year old kid.
