Looking for leg room

I am 6’1” tall, 250lbs with a bad back. With a previous back surgery and fusion I don’t bend as much as I used too and leg room in my truck is a problem. I love these old trucks and want to keep driving them but since my surgery it’s tough. I have moved the fuel tank under the bed so I have that area behind the seat. I thought about recessing the seat back in the cab but then my head would be closer to the back window. How far could the pedals be moved forward without interfering with the factory inner fenders? I have already moved the steering column forward 2” so I’m wondering if I could move the floor pan forward as well with some fabrication? If so how much could I gain? Any input is appreciated.
