Pickup leg room
I am starting my search for a pickup. I am partial to the 29s as I have two already and I like the looks of the 21 inch wheels, but am not sure about the leg room. My roadster has taught me all about the subject.
Do the 30/31s have more leg room than the 29? I want to use this for an almost daily driver so I need it to be a little easier to get in and out if than the roadster.

Re: Pickup leg room
I am 6'1 210 lbs Once you learn the art of getting in and out a 29 has enough leg room and isn't too bad to drive, I use mine as a daily driver as weather permits.

Best thing is to find someone who has one and then actually try sitting in one. Last edited by 30 Closed Cab PU; 03-08-2019 at 07:28 PM. Reason: removed some info, missed his info about already having 28-29 |

Re: Pickup leg room
Our '31 CCPU is more than roomy enough for my 6' 3" frame and my 210# body. I tied the back rest seat springs a little shorter and that gave me plenty of driving room. Getting my size 13 shoes in between the seat riser and A pillar took some practice but I soon got good at it and now I don't even think about it when I jump in behind the wheel. 1930-1931 would be my first choice of a Model A pick up to own.

Re: Pickup leg room
My 31 pickup is very comfortable for my 5' 9" frame but I replaced the regular backrest with a thin ply board with 2" thick foam and vynil. In practise very little weight is placed on the back cushion and it is comfortable and gives a few more needed inches of legroom.

Re: Pickup leg room
Clearly, the thinner back cushion is about the only improvement available. On another note, I am petty sure that the width inside the cab is another advantage. Even if the cushion spring assys. are the same the doors feel / seem wider.

Re: Pickup leg room
Thanks, but not looking for another project. Want something pretty much ready to go. And I think you might be a little too far away, at over 2800 miles.....
