So I purchased a 1980 720 off my brother for super cheap and my problem is that I can't fit in the truck. Im a big guy at 6'3" and about 300lbs and I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what the best way around it was? My hope is that I can replace the seat with something thinner. Any ideas? I thought about eating a salad and going for a walk but I think I would rather just throw some money at the problem.

How's you metal working skills? You might be able to get some angle iron and make a bracket to move the seat back a few inches.

Is​ it a king cab? If so then move the seats back. If not then consider making it a convertible.

It's a standard cab unfortunately. My head is more than touching the roof. I was thinking a seat swap would work.

I am in SW Phoenix and I am selling a 1985 720 ST King Cab It needs some work.  If interested let me know.

Im thinking you might be SOL my friend the seats are pretty thin as they are. You might be able to get a few inches if you find a comfortable riding position(where the seat sits in regards to front to back) then take the tracks off and fab a custom bracket out of some steel flat bar and bolt seat directly to that. Once this was done you would not be able to slide the seat foreward or back.

Yeah I'd be ok with making my own seat brackets for the truck. Plus then the wife won't be able to drive it.

Z32 seats are thin and low.

^^^^ And bolt in with just a little slotting of bolt holes. I've been running Z32 seats in my 720 for years.
