Re: Leg room
I was told you can get more room by moving the gas tank. Using a bench seat that the top sits below the cab line, the brackets can be moved back, giving a couple of inches? Also, told the steering column can be moved towards the dash- with minor changes to the shaft?
Local guy with a '67 told me this |

Re: Leg room
6' 6" 210 lbs. I'm with you. Still looking for a solution to the crammed in seating position. The stock bench seat in my '70 CST is too nice to replace so I'm looking at shortening the mounting assembly.
I find I have even less room in my '69 GMC but that might be due to needing my left leg positioned for the clutch. Good luck and keep us informed.
