first gen not much leg room.......?
The bench seat in my 92 doesnt seem to slide back far enough. Im 5'9 and the leg room is almost cramped for me. i have checked the tracks everything eppears to be normal with nothin in the way of adjustment. any ideas of what it could be? also i have read some people using 2nd gen seats in first gens, is that swap to cure the cramped problem? anyone with suggestions please and thanks

There is a small rack/shelf deal the prev owner had in there behind the seat. the shelf sits smack against the back of the cab and only sticks out maybe 4 or 5 inches. I wouldnt figure that would keep it from slidin back completely. Im still slavin away on my frame when i get time Ill check it out more thoroughly just curious if this was a common problem or not.

My ext cab has plenty of leg room I haven't ridden in a reg cab in a long time so my size comparison is lacking.
Have you guys looked at 03-05 Ram SRT-10 seats? They have less depth because of it being a sport seat and you can install them further back thus giving more room.
06 Ram SRT-10 seats will work also but the center consoles on those are not seats so you would only have room for two.
Also do not forget you have forward and back but also going up and down will adjust your leg room also. Try setting wood on your seat to raise your butt up 3-4" and see how that feels in leg room. If that is comfortable with you then it's just down to making a bracket (I recommend steel plate or heavy aluminum stock) to give you a riser to the seat bracket.
