I'm not aware of longer seat tracks, although i think i remember reading an article by mustangs plus about modifying the seat pans to move the whole thing back. My problem is that the aftermarket seats i have are too tall, so i'm going to have to lower that part of the floorpan.

You can move the pan down and back if you need to just use the instructions form mustangs plus and move to fit

I lowered my seat pans and that ended up not being enough room for my 6'2" frame. The second thing I did was move the seat tracks further back on the pan.

Here is a link to a web page (that I never finished) which shows how I made brackets that set the seats back either 2-3", depending on which set of holes the original seat tracks are installed.:

I now have more than enough room for my legs.

You guys are suppose to be driving bigger cars, like an LTD or Galaxie.

Naaaayyyyy, size doesn't matter. . . . .

I have made a set of bolt-on adapters which relocate the seat back 2 1/2". No welding is required to make these adapters and they don't require any special hardware. Also the seat can be returned to stock condition at any time.

Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you a Word document that describes how to make them.
