Madwheelin’s Paraplegic Wheelchair Transfer To & From 4×4

Here I am transferring into and out of my 2007 Chevrolet 1500 Crew Cab 4×4 Pick-up Truck. I have a rigid frame chair with a folding back. I just put the wheels and the chair between the bucket seats into the back seat, or with the seats folded up onto the floor in the back. Very simple if you have the upper body strength to do it. The only modification I have on my truck is hand controls.
