Tall drivers and their M37s

As a sidenote to that fantastic M37 - happy to see other tall drivers. At a hair over 6' 5" I have to literally plan in advance when I want to use the clutch. And every so often I get my clutch leg trapped on the clutch and stuck under the steering wheel at the same time. It gets rather comical and involves lots of swearing and flailing in the cab.
Might actually look into making a slimmer drivers seat, what a great idea.
Enjoy and dont forget to Vote.

I hate to say this but at 6'0" and 180 I fit into my drivers seat rather well.

At 6' 10" and 280 lbs, I'm beginning to think that I may have trouble driving my M37 once it's running again. When I was 20 years old, I was "only" 6' 4" and only weighed 165 lbs. Somehow, I believe the driver to vehicle ratio has been altered a bit. I sure hope I can still do it! If not, there may be a '54 M37 coming up for sale.

You guys think you have problems...HAH!
I've got to work-out just so I can shift gears and push the clutch in.
That Is Sooo Wrong

No doubt a beatifully restored truck. I'd love to do some back to exact original just for show purposes. I did notice a few add on features that were not original however. Did anyone else catch anything? Just curious.

I'd have to go over the photos again. Actually, there are some which I didn't get to upload due to time. I'll get the rest of them up.
What did you see, Charles?
