Aftermarket Seats
I need some help from someone with a soft top. I need a measurement from the floor pan to the lowest point of the roof so I can see if me sweet find on seats will work in my truck. These babies were free and have full spring suspenion with recline, armrest and manual lumbar.

You will need to know if the seat and our legs will fit under the steering wheel
-
i cant get a exact measurment, but its high. really high, im 6' 3 and i have a good foot or so till i hit the roof
-
And you don't want the seat too high or you will be looking at the top of the windshield frame.

The suspension part of these seats is about 3 inches taller than the original frames when fully raised. Just sitting in the them made the frame hieghts match when I tried them out. Plus I am switching out the steering wheel after I get my power steering done so I think leg room will be good. I am just worried about roof clearance right now.

There's a ton of room under the top bows. I can pull a measurement for you a little later if no one beats me to it.

The stock seat cushion is about 8-10" off the floor, so that puts me at about mid windshield when sitting in the drivers seat at my 6'0" height. There is still plenty of room above me.

Okay, I've got a completely stock driver's seat setup, complete with stock springs, horsehair and canvas cover. (A real comfort treat that, let me tell ya!) And a stock steering wheel, stock canvas bows, etc. Here are the actual measurements I just took:
Cab floor to seat top at front edge of seat: 13"
Seat top to bottom of steering wheel: 5-1/2"
Seat top to underside of top bow, measured from near the back of the seat: 40"
Seat top to underside of canvas top, measured from the front edge of the seat: 37-1/2"
Cab floor to underside of top bow: 52-1/2"
The seat slopes downward a bit at the back while the canvas top slopes downward a bit from the top bow to the top of the windshield, hence the 40" to 37-1/2" measurements. From where your head would be, it would be closer to the 40" position.
Hope this helps!

When I had the stock seats in mine, I looked just below the windshield seal at the top edge of the glass...I'm 6'6".

Perfect...The seats are right at 45" fully extended. Thanks for the help...
