[QUOTE="Snow Monster, post: 9048168, member: 236103"]More like what was my truck, retired now. I was pretty comfortable driving an IH 9370/9400/9900, also KW W900's and T600's with integrated sleepers, these were probably my favourites, especially if they had a sunroof. (liked the cool night breeze in the cab that didn't mess my hair) Drove a new Volvo 780 from time to time for a friend, wasn't too thrilled by it[SIZE=4].[/SIZE] Sat in a few WS's, seemed roomy enough. Have only driven one Pete, for a week when a friend was on vacation, an old 359 day cab, not a contender. I have a personal hate on for FL's that goes back nearly 40 years, but don't let that stop you from looking at them. Have no clues how roomy the modern cabs are which is why I urge you to go sit in all of them. That's what I would do if I was in your situation, comfort and health comes first, the brand of truck, the driveline and the truck's appointments come after. I've had back surgery, much to do with trucks that rode rough and didn't fit me well, and I'm pretty sure you want to avoid the pain, suffering and down time at all cost.[/QUOTE]
