Some other thread also said something about a "premium price" for a flat top. Has nobody ever SLEPT in one? PREMIUM price?
Hell no. I agree with GMAN. Mid-roof is a good compromise. The International 9200 I used to drive had a mid-roof with a bolt/rivet-on extra fairing on top. Plenty of headroom for me, good setup for pulling a box, and take the extra fairing off to yield a comfortable truck for pulling flats or yankering tankers.
I've never actually spent much time in a flat top conventional, but I grew up in cabovers with the same kind of headroom, and I've played with a few flat tops. I think they suck royally as anything other than a show truck.
Though I agree they do have the most classically classic look for a show truck. (Especially if you get one with a 5x4 and Dayton wheels.)
