Move steering post

Looking t my 66 F350 cab trying to improve driver room a question came to mind. Is it possible to move the steering up by devising a different support?. Can leg room be improved without re locating the gas tank ?
Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

Relocating the gas tank will not give you any additional legroom. When the seat is moved back, it does not come in contact with the tank.

Yah kind of thought that from playing with it. Truck has lots of head room so I would like to raise the seat and raise the steering post if possible. Possible seat upgrade?

The steering is an integral shaft. you can not raise it without re clocking the Gemmer steering box and you can not do that due to the cast in mount and how it bolts to the frame.
