Question Bench Seat Brackets moveable??

Im to damn short to be driving a monster truck like this, Is there anyway to move the brackets farther up so i could reach the damn pedal with ease. Because i have to stretch to press the clutch pedal to the floor.


I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the shifter on a 73-87 so i can put a custom knob on it.

Any help is apperciated.

there should be a lever underneath that you can pull and move the seat up forward.

nobody said you were handicapped, or had to put help notes anywhere in your truck. just a block op top of your pedals may be helpful, you sure dont want to be sitting on top of the steering wheel, that could get ugly in a hurry.
