Front drivers seat - 98 S-70

Post by john200981 »

Anyone have legroom problems in their S70? I am almost to the point where I cannot sit comfortably for more than 100 miles... Can't stretch out any ( I'm 6'3" ). Any ideas on being able to adjust out the track? Also, am looking for a camel colored leather drivers seat. Mine has worn out on the side bolster.

A trim shop can replace a leather pannel for a lot less than the cost of a junk-yard seat.

I am 5-10 an I have no issues with legroom. I do have a bad back and the 850 seat is too snug for me on 3+ hour trips. I need to be able to streach and flex more than the 850 seat will allow. It is fine for shorter trips but I try to drive my F150 Lariat on long trips.
