Interior cab size 1931 truck

[billybronco1]

Would the leg room and cab size be the same in a truck compared to a coupe? I only sat in a truck once and it seemed tight for me 6' 2" size 14 shoe. I thought it might be different because the back part of the seat is right against the back window. In the coupe you have that shelf behind the seat. I would like to get a truck but it can not be any tighter than the coupe else I can't drive it.

I don't know about a 31 but I don't think you could get in my 29 without booking an appointment with a chiropractor. Wayne

My friend has a 31 wide bed and I find it tighter than any coupe I rode in.
I think his seat back isn't right, because it's very vertical and uncomfortable.

I have both and the truck is much tighter plus you can adjust the coupe seat but not the truck.

Okay I guess my one seating in a truck was accurate I will stay with the coupe for now, thanks

Your feet will probably be more of an issue than your height. Most people were not just shorter and lighter weight back then; they also had considerably smaller feet.

Since you say you'd like to get a truck, you might consider some of the things others have done to make a little more room, especially, replacing the original thick seat back with a thinner one of half or less thickness. The 2 or 3 inches gained that way make a huge difference in leg room and ease of getting in and out.

Still love looking at the Model A truck ad with 3 burly guys in the cab.

They may have been burly, but they also had to be friendly.

My 31 truck is definitely tighter than the 28 coupe.

I am 6-2, 230lbs and size 12 shoe; there is a big difference between my 1931 coupe and my 1930 pickup. The coupe has more room. When I drive the truck I wear canvas tennis shoes. They are thinned soled which helps immensely.

I too have a '31 pickup and a '28 coupe. At 6'3" and 250 the truck is a tight squeeze though I hardly notice any more. The coupe is much roomier and I sit lower in relation to the windshield so I can see out of the car better. In the truck, I can't see stop lights without ducking down. Still, because the truck is so useful, open bed and lumber rack, I end up driving it three times as much as the coupe.
