If you're looking at buying it, why not do a fit check? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I hope it's got a tilt column. Roomie is 6'1" and fits in my Belle.

Body Damage is Cool
i'm 6'1 and have no problem fitting into my '79. i've got bucket seats out of an '85 in it, i've noticed that a lot of the more popular seat swaps(like acura seats) make the cab pretty cramped on these little tricks.

oh, and good luck finding a '79-83 extra cab <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

2 hours? Shoot, that's my RT commute! Oh well; all things being relative.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
If you can find a used car lot with a similar one for sell. Swing in and jump in it for a fit test. I know they'll be more than willing as long as you don't tell them you have no intention of buying the vehicle.

Not real sure; Belle's are stock; I think Blackie's look like they came out of a Runner. Seems Civics and Supras are donors; these other guys can chime in with their junkyard finds. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

I have an 82 SR5 with stock buckets at 6'160 lbs
with seat ajusted as far back as it will go still
have no leg room its like drivin a 1942 Willys
with the seat stuck all the way foward. Personally
I dont mind I love my old truck I dont think youll
be very comfortable. Older Celica GT buckets work
well in 82 & 83 Toys
