    That would be one of my issues. I did not complain of that though, I just sucked in the legs and dealt with it. At 6 foot and something like 32 inch legs or whatever it was those pedals were all right there. The steering wheel did not help matters either. Although it was a nice one for turning.

    You'd be surprised, on harvest we had a 79 S2200 with a 290 Cummins, it had a doghouse but it had plenty of legroom. Ill see if I can find a picture.

    Here’s the only pictures I can find of the 2200 I have several of the 2300’s, I thought I had more. This was one of our S2300 (technically an S2375 I believe)

    And here’s the only pictures I have of the 2200, the second year it was gone.

    I've seen this picture before. This truck is a '48-'50 Ford F8 with a flathead V8 ( 337 ci ?) and the wagon is a 26ft( ?) Fruehauf. It belonged to a firm called Titus Manufacturing in Tacoma, Wash. and was licensed by Ford as a rebuilding facility for their engines. Here's more. You can see the truck up agin the dock in the 2nd pic.
