Seating options

I don't like the original seat in my 49,it is uncomfortable,and broken down.So I am looking for something that has a slimmer back,and is appox. the same size.The slimmer back,cause being 6'3" I could use the room.
What are you using in your trucks?

I am wondering about an S-10 and make some brakets to bolt it in,but I don't have one right now to test it out.

I bought a new seat from Rod Doors, it is the right size ,is very comfortable and looks right. However at 6-3 you are gonna be cramped no matter what you use for a seat. I wish I had added 3 inches to my cab , at the time it seemed like a lot of work for 3 inches of extra room but the extra leg room sure would be nice and Im a touch under 6 feet.Now if you have short legs and long body you will be OK but if you have short body and long kegs a stock cab isnt gonna work for you.

Well I'm kinda long in the middle mom says,so maybe I'm alright

The back of the stock seat is like 5 inches thick,with a pipe running around it,a seat that is thinner in the back would make a lot of difference IMO.
