14" steering wheel.
thinnest/smallest seats i could find.
i dont think my fiance is going to be able to drive it. (big boobs)
in hindsight i would have made the rear of the cab longer.
but on the good side.
at 49 years old i aint gonna grow any more.

when i started trying out seats i realized just how tiny that damn truck is.
if i was any bigger.
i'd have to sell it.
my next build will be built around a normal sized human.
live and learn.
When I started to mock up my 28 RPU cab I stretched it for more room. But that firewall is narrow. Even making the trans tunnel to fit tight to the trans, TH350, and no more that 3/4" clearance, I still had to do the same with the gas pedal. I could have done it more to the left, but I wanted to be able to actually brake with my right foot. Mainly so someone else could drive it without killing them selves. My 48 you have to brake with your left foot, OK for me as I drove stock cars for years, but there is no place to put your left foot away from the brake pedal unless you pull it back toward you. Someone else driving it may have a big mess in a panic stop where their instinct is to jam brakes with their right foot...............
