On the East coast we are taught at a very young age to avoid hitting fixed objects with our heads. It's quite simple. The secret is to look where you're going.

Those are like the grab handles in the handicap stalls in the bathrooms....... Old people use them to get up or down, us youngins use them for leverage.

Yes I've hit my head on my bosses ohh crap handles in one or two of his F250's or his F350's.

First time was in one of his F250's and it just about knocked me back out of the truck and flat on my face in the parking lot. I think that was after a few beers at hooters at a late, end of the day lunch, since we were under obligation and skipped lunch, so stopped there before heading back to town.

You'd think continually hitting the grab handle with the melon would knock some sense into them.

Just move the seat foreward a little more and watch the fun.


Had several passengers hit their heads.

They are youngsters, they don't learn. Just keep doing it over and over and over.

Thats how I hit mine on my bosses.... I had the seat forward to give my partner in the back plenty of leg room, I think she was pregnant at the time too.

Can't say as I have ever beaned my melon on the grab handle, usually I use it for it's intended purpose; to assist my short little body in getting into the truck!

Using the steering wheel to get in ain't good...use the grab handle..

Kingfish51...when, where, was your sig pic taken? Looks like pics I've seen in Ford Times, and several of the books Loren Sorensen wrote....

The sign..what I can see of it...looks like the one Ford went to in 1942.

As far as the steering wheel, it is just something to hold onto, not pulling myself in with it.

Pic was taken at my father's dealership in 1952 in Barnesboro, PA.
