I have a 91 bench seat in mine and it is way better that stock. I am getting ready to put in some 2010 Nissan Frontier cloth buckets in mine fore a bit more support and hopefully comfort/room. I like my DD's Frontier buckets for comfort and long haul and hoping to get similar results in the 70. I am 6'1" about 210 with creaky knees and looking for that extra bit of comfort. Mine is a manual 3 on the tree, so the clutch comes into the formula also.
Definitely NOT 2010 Frontier seats. The backs are too thick and you loose room. So far the best bet I have found is using 88-94 GM GMT400 bench or bucket seats. You can cut and lower the stock brackets, but it won't really give you much more room.
