Re: Tall Guy

I'm 6'5" so I've looked into it as well. Seats out of like the '88-98 seats are quite a bit thinner. I went with Buddy Buckets for the '67 as its suppose to give you the most room for a factory seat.

I've driven Ridtech's truck that has the TMI seats which are thinner and sit lower, but I found the angle with the pedals to not be very comfortable.

I spent some time looking over James Otto's '66 truck and they did some pretty cool mods to help him fit (if I recall he's like 6'6"). They recessed the buckets under the rear window and actually bumped out the firewall to push the pedals back 2-3". I'm seriously considering this for my '67.
