Here are some cheap aftermarket seats that are really low profile for large/tall people. I installed these and liked them well, until I scored a better set of seats w/ better back support & removeable head rest from my local junk yard from a 2013 Ford Focus.


What make/model are those? Been trying to figure out what to aim at for project "be able to see stop lights"

6'2" and 250 lbs...the guys a wild horses sold me on the procar elite...said they sat low had good head room. I mounted them all the way back to the bulk head in my half cab. Very happy with them.

6'-3" and 260 here. I recently ordered a Bronco Bob family roll cage and opted to go with the Tall Man Option (I believe it added $75). The tubes right by your head are angled on the end and this puts the tube farther away from your head. I just took this pic of mine:

Also, I've been eyeing this from Wild Horses:

These things are tiny compared to most of what I'm used to seeing. My wife says I dwarf my EB.

6'4" 250 and I fit fine. OEM steering wheel, those smaller ones make you truck handle like crap (oversteer) trust me, I tried it. 36" inseam on legs.
I put 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX seats (junkyard pull for $80/pair) had to make 1 easy bracket for the passenger front right post.
The recline to flat and slide as well. The bucket bottom is so deep it actually drags on the rhino lining floor when sliding. I spent $250 to have Wet Okole make custom neoprene seats for them and are virtually water proof. I never have top on it.

I'm 6'5" and about 250 pounds.
WH Rally 2000 Procar seats sit real low.

I fit in mine fine and have for 37 years.
You can too.

I am looking at will be my 1st cb this Saturday. I am 6'6" 250 and worried that it wont have enough room. Is it possible for these trucks to be comfortable for taller men? Serious inquiry. Thank You.

Well I am as big as it gets I was your size 9th grade High school and I drove a 1975 bronco all through school. I have grown since then and I still drive broncos even 1/2 cabs all stock seats, steering wheel, and windshield. The only thing I can not do is 3 on the floor I have to reach under my leg no fun. Now some of the mods other have been talking about would defiantly help and I will be doing some on my latest build but over all I am good I have had to prove that to some people too;D.

Extra Room -

The lowest mounting seats I have found. other than stock, are the WH Scat Procar Classic (Less Side Bolstering) with the Bronco seat mounts.

You can drill new holes in the floor and mount the seats farther back for more leg room. Very easy option.

You can lower the floor itself assuming you do not have a side fuel Tank. Hardest, most involved, option.

Install a Tilt Column for easier access in and out. I personally would not go smaller than a 14" diameter Steering Wheel.

Both me and my father are tall (6'5" and 6'9" respectively) and we both fit just fine in Broncos with the stock seats and mounts ?:? Most of our height is in our legs though, so that may be the difference. I have a 38" inseam and my father has a 40" inseam.

2nd gear on the three on the tree was really tight on my father's knee, but that was fixed with an NP435 swap ;D

My dad is 6'8 and drives the wheels off his Willy's flat fender with stock seats and steering wheel, if you love something you'll make it work! As for me I'm 6'3 and fit just fine in my half cab stock seats!
