bucket seats for my f1??

I have been looking for a nice set of bucket seats for my 51. the problem is that i am 6' 4 and the stock bench seat is too tall. I have been measuring on a 2001 f350 leather seat that is in my dad's truck. This is the exact seat i want, but it is too long. it will stick out 24 inches from the center of the back brace of the cab. I liked these seats so much because the driver's side was power, has heaters in them, and the best is the seat belts are built in. Is there anything else that is similar to this but is not so long on the bottom?

These are not mine, I repeat NOT MINE, someone from on here and I saved them. I am using Cordoba car electric buckets and had to use a riser so you could make them any height, not sure about your 24 inches front to back, seems kina small. Could measure / take pictures of mine for you, not installed in truck, in my shop, not tonight got a headache? Mine are shorter at the top and with head rest removed is below the rear window and seem to go back more.

Have you looked at the seats out of an 04ish GM truck?? They also have built in seatbelts and are not as tall. You can also get them in leather.

Took pictures of my brother-in-law's 04 Chevy Extended Cab.

They look similar to Dodge Caravan seats as well.
