Ive always wanted to buy a pickup but was always worried about the size issue.at what stage do you think it would get really uncomfortable im 5,10" in height but was thinking if too small cabwise i could maybe remove the back from the seat and cut a foam lower back rest and thinner upper back and mount it directly onto the bulkhead thus maybe gaining a little more room (just a though!) :?

I have driven several Pick-ups and I agree it is very claustrophobic , I never felt comfortable .

No they don't , Ray Hayes was told Today By Carole Nash that they would not insure his pick-up as it was a 'commercial vehicle !!! .I will find out where He insured it .
