seat lowering brackets
For those of you that have installed seat lowering brackets, were you able to retain the gas tank in the factory location, or is it mandatory to relocate the tank? I don't see this information posted on Brother's site or the Full custom fab site. I assume these are currently the only mass produced options for lowering the seat? My line of sight is too high through the windshield and I will be doing a conversion from auto to manual so i want as much room and to be as comfortable as possible driving my truck. I want to be able to daily drive it or take it on trips.

Re: seat lowering brackets
I just installed the FCF in my 68 this winter. Factory tank is in place without an issue.
I have not driven it yet so I can't say if I like it or not. Currently pushing the steering wheel ahead by collapsing the column an inch. |
Re: seat lowering brackets
I was looking at the brackets, but decided that lowering the seat with a non-tilt column would put the steering wheel too high. Also, if you're taller than 6ft or so, your knees would be up higher. I'd want to try before buying.

Also, if you have a full-size 3-3/4" column-mount tach, it may have to go. I found an AutoGage #2300 that is approximately 3/4" less deep than the SunPro tach I had on the truck for 30 years. The old tach was no longer accurate, so it had to go anyway! |

Ha! Glad to see I wasn't the only one to do that!
My switch may not be broken, but it's probably 53 years old, so I bought a new one. |

Re: seat lowering brackets
I’m 6’3 and the FCF brackets put me in a much better driving position (mine is a manual with stock column and everything inside in stock location). I didn’t like the idea about only using half of the original bolts to mount the seat so I actually bought 2 sets of these and installed them 2 on each side so all the original bolt locations are used.
