    Can you stand up without hitting your head in either LW truck?. I am only 6'5", but the height inside the sleeper is the only thing I would have issue with.

    Standing is not an issue. Realize there isn't a lot of space for standing around in any of these trucks - lightweights or full size. Any free time spent inside will be either in the seat or on the bed. As to the bed, all these trucks have a standard twin long mattress, so no issues with stretching out for taller folks.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    I know I won't be doing any dancing in there (none that I would admit online anyway), was thinking more about getting dressed/undressed etc. I will check the FL and Intl websites if they have any specs on interior dimensions.

    You can stand in the international LW. The FL, not so much.

    Love my '16 Prostar. Just wish the cb antenna system was better and the frame was grounded for easy antenna upgrade. But it is so much smoother than a Cascadia, and quiet. The Jake's aren't that strong, but the right gear is far more effective in this truck.

    Glad you got one you like.
    Most of the time I roll around with it off if the weather is clear. I can't stand the garbage I hear on the cb.

    Think you'll be the type to have a lot of fun when the environmental conditions are right for what we call "skip". Usually happens few times a day. All dependant on environmental conditions, weather, solar activity, time.....etc.

    If you have a radio that does side band, even better. Can reach/recieve even farther, especially with a mobile unit, and tends to be much clearer transmit & recieve. Also, less traffic as fewer folks have units that operate on side bands.

    Will have to get off 19 & on channels that are frequented for that when conditions are right.

    Can talk anywhere from several states away, to across the entire country. Including Canada & Mexico, Carribean, & sometimes Europe. Essentially......everywhere.

    I regularly talk across the country & internationally with other base & mobile stations on the CB band.

    Also, on regular band (regular channels 1-40) every local area has their own channels the locals tend to congregate.

    That's what I'm talking about. I don't remember your truck have big ears though? And yes, I will have to treat myself to a galaxy with ssb of course. I like the cobras buy the 148 didn't have an awi light. I like that for crude swr tuning. I'm having fun out here.
