Leather Seats

i found a pair of brand new leather seats in the junkyard out of a thunderbird (94-97) and when i slid them into my truck and sat in them they sat awfully close to the steering wheel, so if i were to get in a wreck without wearing a racing seat belt, that would be the end of my face. and the passenger would smack the dash, and me and my dad are planning on taking the gas tank out and putting one in the back, so that would give us a little more room, but i need advice on how to get more room without moving the gas tank......and i may think about getting a 4 point seat belt, i hear they are comfortable and they look kinda cool.

i dont think you can get anymore room without removeing the tank to the back, you will just have to do some measureing to see if you take the tank out there will be enough room.

You most likely won't gain any seat room even if you remove the tank. The only thing you gain is behind the seat space. That's because the seat needs an angle on the back to be comfortable.
