Re: Late model seat ideas ?

One more for the thread!
I'm 5'11", 170#. I would be 6' even if it wasn't for my bad back. I looked long and hard to find seats that would be easy on the back and eye. I finally settled for a 60/40 from a 99 Ford F150. It sits low enough and far enough back that I'm not on top of the wheel. I don't know how well it would work if I hadn't moved the tank to the rear, but it works great for me! It also has a lumbar support that I can adjust on long drives. I made the mounting brackets. They could be prettier, and I may go back later to make the so. Or I was thinking that after I get the carpet and interior finished, I may just make a cover for them. A local shop in Lewisville did the upholstry work. I'll go back to him if I do the covers. Haven't decided yet.
Oh ya! If I slide the seat forward and recline, I can get gangsta. I just choose not to!
