    6'4" here. It's been a long time since a drove a fld sleeper. But the daycabs we drove in the oil patch were killers. If i coulda hacked that useless cup holder off would have helped alot.

    Did your old FLD also have the tiny sleeper? My seat would not go back very far and my knee hit the steering column... maybe that is the difference between the fld I drove and the others, because I seriously was cramped in there. I'm only 30yrs old, 6'2" and 185lbs, so you'd think I would have fit just fine :biggrin_2559:

    I don't wanna pay that much for something that your gonna end up spending money on to get it right anyhow. That's what i have learned from this piece. Wishing i would stuck with my original idea of paying cash for a older truck in the beginning.

    That FLD I posted the pic of had 300k on a crate motor, new clutch, new complete front end, new shocks and springs, new pads and drums, new complete exhaust from the manifold to the stack, and a lot of other stuff.... traded it for a 387 Pete and they gave me $10k for it. Pete blew out the trans the 1st month I had it and I got this Star.... we all make bad choices I guess LOL

    That would be the difference. Mine is a '96, I still drive it by the way, and is a 70" condo.
