57 bench seat

Hello, i recently bought a 57 f100 basket case from an estate. I am looking for various seat options. I do want a bench seat. I'm tall and "extra muscular" , the gas tank has been moved to frame, and I know that won't gain me any room. Will I gain the most leg room with an original seat, or should I start looking at bone yards for something different. Thanks, larry

Look at the chevy or gmc seats, years 88-98. Single cab. The upper back is narrower than the stock seats so you sit back a little further.
I put one in my 55 .

Thanks for your input. I'll get some measurements and start looki'n. Every little bit will help. I have a 50 and 52, and I can't hardly get my foot from gas pedal to brake pedal. Scared to drive them in much traffic. Your bench seat looks great.
