odd question for a off-road site, but how is the leg room on a single cab. i want to be comfortable on the long drives to the trails.  i am looking at an 85 that is for sale right now.  oh ya, im 5'-11"

thanks

I don't think you'll have any problem at 5-11. I'm 6-2 and fit in my 84 with no problem.

I think he's insane :screwy:  I'm 6'6" and I feel very cramped in a 1st gen.  I would still buy one, but there is no room to stretch out on long drives.  :nope:  I've done a few hours in RUGERs 1st gen, and it hurst when you get out :yupyup:

im 6'-2" about 245 # with a 85 standard cab, its pretty cramped.... you cant stretch out, i have jsut come to cope with the fact that i sit in it like a go cart, if i need to stretch out, i pull over

I'm 6' and shy of 200#'s and I can't stand to ride in my brother in laws 88 std cab!  My knees are almost even with the top of the dash!  I've got more leg room and head room in my 85 nissan std cab!  I'm going to say without a doubt I'm going to buy a extra cab!

I am 6'2" about 250 pounds granted that my '85 regular cab isn't as comfortable or roomy like my crew cab, but just for wheeling I find that it is fine

You'll be way fine.
I'm 6'4" with an interior padded roll cage and fit just fine.

Seems as though this is an opinion that will change from person to person. You wont know till you sit in the truck yourself Id say.
'82 on 35's, not much else.
