The Bonus Built cabs still followed Ford's narrow design concept for commercial vehicles. The cars were generally always a bit wider for passenger comfort. Utilitarian commercials were pretty basic and didn't have a lot of room for extra passengers. I remember as a kid sitting in the middle of a 49 F1 and one of the brand X 216 powered 3100 post war Chevy pickups. Neither had much room but the column mounted shifter in the old Chevy made life a little easier.
