1970 seat

[terrirat]

Hi,
Just bought a 1970 truck, the seat does not go back far enough for me to be able to drive properly.
I can cut off the seat stop pegs and remove the track and set back a little farther but I think that will only get me about 2.5 inches.
Is there a seat I can buy that will help?
I see that there are replacement bench seats, any good, maybe thinner back? Or the same problem?
Thank you,
Terri

To the board.

Just how tall are you?

One solution is the relocate the fuel tank. It gives you a few more inches of space. Other than that, I think more info is needed to give good advise.

thank you,
I'm not very tall, 5'9" and husband is 6'1"
The seat is sagging, maybe that needs to be fixed first.
Thank you,
Terri

The stock bench seat should give you enough leg room. I'm 5'10", and it was ok, not too comfortable compared to newer vehicles, but it worked.
There are factory bucket seats, but be prepared to pay a lot for them.

I would first try redoing your stock bench seat.
There are a lot of custom installations, you might try doing a search and see what comes up.

As for the pooch, he thinks he is a pit bull. I got him from an animal shelter, he is smaller than a rat terrier. He is about 8 pounds, and is most likely Chihuahua and Toy Fox Terrier, (judging by his markings and build).
My sister and brother-in-law, that live up in Portland, Oregon, have a Rat Terrier. My small dude is smaller, but with a lot of attitude.

I put a bench seat out of 91 Chevy 1/2 ton in mine for that reason.It has a much thinner back and easy to find at the wreckers.

Have you tried to just move the whole seat back new holes in t6he floor

removing the fuel tank wont get you any room on a stock bench seat

I'd like to see a pic of the back portion of your '91 seat! I'm 6'4" and could use another inch or two of legroom myself!

I am 6'5 and I sit pretty close to the steering wheel. But my truck has buckets out of an 80 Camaro that are much thicker than the stock bench. It would be nice to have some more room but I haven't ever really had any problems.

I don't know if the pictures help, but here you go.The seat and a 14 1/2 inch steering wheel make for a better ride. My opinion.
