I’m 6’4” and no little guy, I find it a bit cramped but wouldn’t get rid of the truck for it. The thing that bugs me the most is not being able to see the stop lights without leaning over some. It would be nice to find a shorter seat to gain a little more headroom.

I am 5'8" and i have an 88 model seat in my truck and an 87 model steering wheel, now my LITTLE brother is 6'2" and has a size 14 foot and hates to sit in the driver seat, he only likes to drive it cause I have the loudest street legal truck in town and he gets attention in it, personally i dont see how he can complain about space when he drives an elcamino.

6'4" and 240. Fits fine with bucket seats, tank out of cab, tilt wheel and aftermarket steering wheel.

I'm 5'9" and when I had the stock bench I was comfortable. Now I have mid 80s daytona buckets in there and can't seem to get them right.

Originally they were too low, so on a long cruise my ankle to leg angle had to be like less than 90 degrees, so my calf would start hurting. A few weeks ago I raised the seat up, and now I hit my legs on the small steering wheel when I get in and out. I don't think my seats fit the truck to well, to thick of padding in the back...I've been messing with them off and on for about 4 years and still am not happy with the fit of them.

I've got a 2000 Chevy seat with a console. I haven't gotten it back from the interior shop yet, but I'll let y'all know how they fit (and how I fit...I'm 5'8")...

6'2" and 215lbs.....I have plenty of room in my Burb (HAHA), leg & head room is more than adequate.:D

:metal: :metal: :metal:

I'm 5'11, and 220. It seems a little lacking in head room on the pass. side, but just right in the driver's side, thanks to my worn out bench seat:D Sometimes i feel sorta like a preying mantis, cuz i can't straighten my arms out while holding the wheel, though!

I'm 6' 1" and just put a set of 2000 Silverado Seats with fold-down center console in my 70 Chevy. My original bench was broken on the driver's side and sagging bad, so with the new seat in there I feel a little close to the roof. I HAD to take the gas tank out to get the seats to fit somewhat good in the cab, but I think I'm going to cut the cab and extend it a bit due to the lack of legroom.

5'9" with stock bench, no problems.

I'm 6'5", about 280 and not as limber as I used to be.
I have replaced the bench seat with buckets from a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. They are mounted lower than the stock seat and create a nasty angle for the brake pedal. I don't have the truck on the road yet so I'm not sure how it will feel.
I've removed the gas tank and have the seat backs up against the back wall. You don't seem to gain too much room from removing the tank because there is a ridge that runs along the back wall at the top of where the tank used to be. My seat back hits that before I get to use the newly found space at the bottom.
Guess I'll have to put subs in there.

I'm 5'9" 165 lbs. I have plenty of room. My buckets came out of an eightysomething midsize Olds wagon. They're small, and the seatbacks are pretty thin. I experimented with the height before I built the stands that I mounted them on. Even with a stock steering wheel there's plenty of clearance. Normally I drive with the seat forward a little, and reclined back. I'm comfortable.... Oh yeah I sh!tcanned the headrests.

I'm 5' 11" and 175 lbs. and using an 80 something
chevy bench seat without headrests and orignal steering wheel. No complaints for head room
really, and much more comfortable than the coverless original seat
with decomposing foam that would cause a dust storm when it was sat on.

The way I mounted it, the seat runs out of room before it runs out of
track. I don't know if this is normal for these seats, but they have
a wider seat base than the original bench seat. I don't know if I'll
ever remove the gas tank, but am interested to find out if this changes
anything.

I'm 6'5" 280lb with bucket seats out of a 94 full-size blazer and the steering wheel is a little close to my legs and rub when I make large turns but other than that, I feel comfortable in it. It's the only thing I've driven since I got my license 6 years ago and anything else feels funny to me.

6-5'' ABOUT 200
