We ended up having a few problems on the road. First, we had to push the truck with the Honda to jump start it. Then we pulled into a gas station after about 1.5 hours on the road to fill up and we noticed that the Honda was covered in gear oil. The pinion seal on the Dana 60 was gone and very kindly pumped the oil out of the differential and onto the car. We tried to fix it but couldn't break the nut loose on the yoke, so every time we filled up we put in 18 gallons of gas and 1 quart of gear oil. We ran out of gas around midnight the first night and pushed the truck down the freeway a few miles until we found an open gas station. We made it to Portland at about 0300.

I am currently talking to someone in florida about a 71 w200 crew cab, but your pictures have me a little concerned. I am 6'9" and worried about fitting after i looked at your picturs. Are you crammed fairly close to the dash/wheel/pedals or is this picture misleading? I dont want to make the long drive to look at the car if I'm fairly sure I won't fit. Your thoughts on someone my size fitting in this truck would be appreciated.
