Seat Question
The PO of my truck was much shorter than me ~7" or so. He put in a new seat that sits very high, so that I have to kind of duck to see stop lights if I'm in the 1 or 2 position. It is well padded and fairly comfortable, but just way to high.
I've been looking at original seats on CL, but have a question on the originals. Do they bolt straight to the floor, or is there an intermediate assembly so that the seat can slide forward? I certainly don't need the seat any closer, but I don't want to buy only seat to find out it doesn't bolt up. Thanks! David

Re: Seat Question
They have slider assemblies that can be removed from the seat frame itself (they go between the seat and the cab floor) to allow for front to rear adjustment. At least thats the way they are on my 71' and 72'.
I have seen them sectioned / modified so they allow the seat to be lowered for taller drivers. Last edited by Number98; 02-08-2008 at 04:34 AM. |

Re: Seat Question
Hey Chevyholic, I guess I misunderstood you. Seems I have the same setup as Number98. Sorry If I misinformed you.
