I seem to remember the seats in the LS weren't that bad.

The hood is fibreglass so it isn't very heavy to lift and lower.

The troops far preferred the comfort of the 5/4 ton, both for heat and the seats. And you didn't get goosed by a handbrake handle every time you got in and out of the truck.

I especially loved the lack of roll-up windows. Between that and the vinyl seats, it made long road moves during the summer so enjoyable on the backside.

Then there were the up-armoured versions. Although it had A/C, everything else was pushed to the edge of its envelope, engine, brakes, suspension. Just terrible.
