Mine's a single cab. And at a towering 5'6" I've got the seat all the way back.

O.K. - Too much dodge talk got to change it up some.
My favorite type is OLD TRUCKS (prefer gm but would buy a ford, international, studebaker, willys jeep truck,ect)
My 70 chevy truck has no emissions or computer junk, about 15 wires under the hood, levers not buttons, metal dash, metal door panels, and so on. To me that makes it a truck and even with the gas tank right behind the seat I stiil feel alot safer in it then these new tin cans their makin today.. When some thing breaks I know I can fix it or rig it and still drive it around, you don't have to worry about all them sensors and the other junk they put on todays trucks going bad.
Then the interchangabilty (hope thats a word and I spelled it right) of these trucks a another great thing about them. Mine can swap a lot of drivetrain / suspension parts from 1967 to 1991, and most auto parts stores keep the parts on stock, if not there is alot of aftermarket support for them.

I had a 1976 International Scout, with the removable pickup cab. That was a fun truck, and built like a tank. Too bad parts got so hard to find. I ended up selling it instead of fixing it.

my gramps had a '89 chevy 20 van, it had a limited-slip differential out of a dodge 1-ton, 470 v-8, and a 4-speed trans, he had to manually shift it going up hills or when towing. it was the best van ive ever driven
