I'll bet good money that the A pillar in the truck hid this person from the driver's view as much as, or more than, any height mods on the truck. I've had this very issue in newer cars with thicker A pillars.

I drive slowly in lots, always looking, and sometimes a person just matches the angle of approach and speed, and stays in my A pillar blind spot almost until it's too late. It's a bigger issue on the driver side for me, as the pillar is closer to me, and thus consumes a bigger part of my field of vision.

The vehicle designers/engineers didn’t give any attention to Ergonomics.
