I second TwoTone. I removed my original riser, welded in a 1” riser on the floor and bolted down a 1990 GMC Sierra bench seat using its pedestal. It sits just below the rear window, moves you back and down a lot, gives ample head room, and you can use the stock tank. I have had my bro in law and a buddy (both 6’3”) get in and they can’t believe that it has as much room as it does. I’m 6’ and it is the perfect “hang my elbow out the window and cruise height”. It does fill the cab from door to door with about 3/8” between the door and bench seat side at the backend (front touches), but I can overlook that. It’s not modern comfortable but the steering wheel isn’t in your stomach, you’re not pushed forward, and you can lean back and relax. Plus, the seat folds forward for access behind the seat. The gas tank is still in the cab, too. It’s been a great choice in my mind. I’m doing it again on the 1/2 ton project. And if you’ve taken your time during removal of the spot welds, you could even reinstall the original seat riser again to convert it back to stock if you wish.

I love this seat.
