I'm 6'2" and the 3 minutes I sat in it in the garage it seems fine.

With it as far back as it will lock its about 1-2" from the rear window. It will slide back farther but hits the window/rear cab before it locks in.

This is with the stock in cab tank still in place.

Third picture is not my truck, but another (different style) of astro van seat, again with the legs cut off/down.
that looks like another good option . I would love to see what it looks like cut down . Als was it hard to cut ? How do you plan on mounting it ? thanks
