    I was turning at the intersection of 412 & 83 in the Okie panhandle today and this cattle hauler looked about like this. All I could see was the top of a faded ball cap... there's no way he could see over his trucks long nose. No way

    I sold a wonderful 2007 W900 for the exact reasons you mention. I actually thought about cutting the lower firewall out, boxing it square and sliding the pedals forward. Not sure how I’d do the clutch pedal but the throttle and brake would be easy.
     
    JoeyJunk Thanks this.

    about the way I look in my western star
    Elbow on door rest is about 3” higher than my shoulder. Comfortable and relaxed don’t feel like a fish in a bowl with everyone staring at me. Bet that bill hauler is pretty safe too.

    As I read it, you get 3 trucks for $50k. According to the ad, they have been in the family for a while and they want someone to keep the set and restore.
