Geekay Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) This is an excellent video in New Zealand of a modern day off road trek in various 1930's vehicles, including some repairs along the way. Worth watching just for the beautiful Kiwi scenery. And some bagpipe playing at the end! As a bonus about 3 minutes in is a short 1930's Dodge promotional video of a Dodge showing off its capabilities on rugged rocky off road "track".

Flatie46 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 That's a cool show, thanks for posting. I love cars and trucks from the 30's, would probably own one but they're made pretty small inside and I'm pretty big. Quote

But I love the cars from the 1930's, so being a sardine kinda comes along with the hobby. LOL Quote
Flatie46 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 I'm 6'4 and 260. I sat in a 34 Ford truck when I was in high school. I was about 220 then, I remember I could easily touch the pasenger door from the driver seat without much leaning. A friend has a 30'a model truck he's extended the cab to give more leg room a a place to put your coat or whatever. If I ever owned one this would be a must. In my 46 Plymouth I may mount the seat back a bit. It's ok the way it is but I would like a bit more leg room if I could. Quote
