You can really get an idea of the scale of the old Datsun, when it's sitting next to a Titan...

Haha that thing is tiny! It looks sweet though. I love the chrome eyelids. What are the two things on the top side of either side of the bed?

They're like spring-loaded hooks that lie flat against the bed until you pull them out.... Probably added by the previous owner.

Ever watch NCIS, Nala? You know how Gibs is always smacking people on the back of the head? Pretend I just did that to you.

Dude, I've taken a crap bigger than you... How do you not fit?

Besides, you drive an MG and a Miata.

I'm gonna get you one of these for Christmas:

I took those pics Monday, before the storm hit.

We got hammered with rain... Bex and I were up all night Wednesday, finally got to bed at like 8 am... Then out fighting the flood all day Thursday until 10 pm last night. Got a bit of a reprieve today, hoping for a quiet night.

This I resent lol. The key word to my statement was "comfortably". They're just not a comfortable vehicle though I admittedly fit fine. I would think it'd be even less comfortable for a tall, lanky, goofy(etc) ------ like you lol.

FTFY.

Actually, after thinking on this issue, I figured out why you'd think the 320 is "cramped" - You were working on an L320. I have an NL320. The NL (unibody) has about 6" longer cab than the L320, as evidenced by the longer doors.

So, I can see why you'd feel like it's smaller.

Then again, you are like a foot shorter than me, so I'm still confused.
