Title: How do I get more leg room in a regular cab?
Post by: cjk3500 on March 02, 2014, 06:01:03 am

I'm 6'2" with long legs and even with thin 240z bucket seats all the way back against the cab it's still tight.  It seems like maybe if I had low back buckets I could get them under the support the runs below the rear window.  Or has anyone used a different throttle bracket that puts the pedal closer to the firewall?  I'm not worried about the brake pedal because I don't use it much :) and I'm a two foot driver.  Any ideas would be great.  Why didn't GM make an extended cab until 1988???????

Agreed, Let's see what seats you have. I'm 6' tall and I fit with a high quality seat and speakers behind them.

I'll see if I can get some pics but it's better with the buckets, with the stock bench it's terrible.  I was hoping someone had swapped in another pedal or maybe bent the rod on the existing one.

Me too!  Maybe puddles a lot of fun.  Don't need to take a shower after that but it's hard on the electronics :)
