It's not the width that's a problem, but the height.

Here's a brochure for the first-year F-150 (1984): https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/1984-Ford-F-Ser...

Have a look at some of the pictures that have people standing next to the truck.

They'd be giants if they were able to have that kind of posture next to a modern F150.

Oh, I was a smaller kid back then and I guess I wouldn’t find it very accessible either way. Also my dad was tall. Coolers fit in the back also if you want to use those instead.
