It puts me way too close to the steering wheel and too high up. Has anyone replaced a bench seat in one of these trucks with something from a different (easily available) vehicle that works really well or maybe know of a low cost replacement option?

Suggest you update your profile and add a "signature line" that tells us what your truck is (year/make/model). If you do that, it automatically shows up in all your posts so we don't have to guess what your asking about. Let us know and we can try and help from there.

For some reason I thought I had already done that but apparently not 😊 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,982 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,982 | My '57 5700 LCF is the same cab as yours, the original seat is also a little too close to the wheel for me and I'm not big, If you are not too concerned about originality then maybe a bucket seat would be more adjustable.

While others are ginning up some replies to your question, maybe you could share some pics of your truck???  You know how much we love pictures - LOL!  Oh, BTW, here is a previous conversation I found using the "Search the Site" tool you can see in the left main page margin (I searched for alternative seat options for Task Force trucks). https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1290664/task-force-seat-options.htmlThere were several other threads that you could look at for suggestions too.
