Re: Tall guys and bucket seats

I'm 6'2" and 220lbs. I have a set of 65/66 Chevelle buckets in my '55. They are blocked up 1" from the stock truck mounting rails. I have the original 18" steering wheel. My beer belly just fits with maybe an inch to spare. I'm thinking of removing the 1" blocking, and try the drivers seat first. I don't think it will give me anymore belly clearance, however! These seats are very comfortable, I had my upholstery guy rebuild them and recover close to original, he beefed up the padding for me also.
