    Have you tried shimming the floor mount so it leans? Is the back to seat at an angle ? and can it be changed?

    I sat in it tonight and I'm not really sure I can change much. I have moved the front of the seat up once before and it's all the way back as well. If I shim it up more I don't think I have the room to tilt the back anymore than it is but I might try a bit more. Installing cruise helped a ton so I can move my legs around more. I think I might have to accept the fact that it seems like people were shorter back then and they made vehicles accordingly. I'm not going to be able to stretch out like in a modern vehicle. I can always find something to complain about, maybe my body isn't as forgiving as it was when I was 20 LOL:
