best ford truck for big guys

Hey ford guys,which fords have more driver room?
okay I am a big guy and today I looked at a 72 f100 and it was
uncomfortable because of the steering wheel.I had a 66 f100 about
ten years ago that was the same way,but I went to a smaller
steering wheel and swaped it over to power steering.Was the 73 and
up trucks a little better for big guys?

I have owned several fords 74 and up to an 02 most the body styles stayed the same for all models to about the late 90s I think. you may want to look at extra or cab and a halfs they offer more room.

Thanks rsutr101,I think 73 and up was a little better,my brother has a 81
and it is fine.I kinda wanted to find a 73-79 carbed truck,so it would have
disc brakes and power steering,extended cabs are a little tough to find
in the older trucks.
