7.3 Ford vs 6.0 Chevy cockpit room

Has anyone bought a new Ford Chassis or sat in one to compare the cockpit space compared to the Chevy chassis? Does the 7.3 engine have a smaller dog house than the V-10?
  • Find a class C new or used with a Chevy in it. I think you will be surprised.

    . I read all 5 pages but did not see a definite conclusion. I finally got to sit in 5 class c’s yesterday with the 7.3 engine in it and could not see or feel any difference in cockpit space compared to the V-10. The passenger foot space was terrible. Unfortunately they did not have any Chevy chassis to compare. I don’t know how you could sit in the passenger seat for any length of time with out putting your feet up on the dash.
