All I can say is that this is the best bar hoping truck ever. I know I won't be picking up any larger gals in this truck. I am 5'll 165-170 pounds and I am a tight squeeze in the cab.

I don't think there were "plus sized" people in 1949 weren't there?

Maybe all the ''plus sized'' people in 49 were smaller......And as the people got bigger so did the trucks they drove.

Well you gotta make the Flathead stand out. Incase the exhaust noise doesn't give it away.

Its by far my favorite truck that Ryan has. I gotta get me one of those

I remember when Ryan told us about the colors too and I was unsure, but it really looks great.
