Don't fit in a Series III single cab
Discussion
Went to see a series III single cab pickup and found the bulkhead and chassis in a pretty dire state. Of more concern was being unable to really lift my leg to work the clutch.
Am I likely to have the same problems in the 90 and Defender? Otherwise it'll have to be a ford ranger or something of that ilk.

If they're single cabs, yeah. I'm 6'4" and don't fit. You'll be ok in a van version probably. I'm 6'4" and can't drive single cabs 
I'm 6'4" and used to have a truck cab SIII which was fine. Now have a D90, albeit with a full body although surely the bulkhead is in the same place, and I'm fine with that too - at least, I was when I went out in it this morning!CAPP0 said:

Did you try an SWB or an LWB? Rear bulkhead position is different between them.Am I likely to have the same problems in the 90 and Defender? Otherwise it'll have to be a ford ranger or something of that ilk.

The difference between 88" and 109" is explained here: http://mud4fun.com/2013/08/13/truck-cab-mounting-r...
I'm not sure if 90 and 110 rear bulkheads are different. They look pretty similar; and the shape is closer to the 109".

Didn't know the cabs were different. Both my SIII and the 90 were/are SWB. As mentioned, I'm 6'4, 15 st (on a good day!), 34" inside leg and 44" chest and on standard seats I don't find it cramped - sure, it's a different seating position from a regular hatchback, but not uncomfortable. I often go on 2hr + round trips in mine.
i'm not sure that they are different ... the length difference is in the rear tub between 88",'90' and long wheel base
