Bigger driver in a Deuce

[IWINEZ]

So I imagine that the deuce was designed for the standard soldier of 5'7 and 150lbs? How do larger guys fit in the driver's seat? Could you reply back with your height and weight(ballpark on the weight for you sensitive boys) Also does the A3 offer anymore room?
Thanks!

I never seem to fit well in any standard cab truck, mine or a deuce. Im 6'3" and about 215 lbs

 

[ca1517]

6'1,235. Not really much of an issue here, just a little tight.

a 6.5' 300+ lb friend drives mine with no trouble

 

[nk14zp]

I'm not too big but I've noticed the box seat (not the spring seat) gives you more room. In fact, I like my '68 b/c of the box seat. Dare I say it...I think a box seat is more comfortable

5'10" 275lb i keep a 4x4 under the front of the spring seat it gives ma a tiny bit more belly room.

6 foot, 245 lbs, I have no problem and I have the cushier HEMTT seats.

Who I wonder fits in a deuce is Stretch - he's 6 foot 10 inches and weighs 85 pounds soaking wet. Looking out the window all he must see is wiper motor. It's a wonder he hasn't cut a hole in the soft top and drove it like a freakin' cartoon character.

Actually, I agree.

I have my springer cranked as tight as it will go, so it has very little movement. I've found when I hit a really hard bump and the springer bottoms out, it gives my lower back a pretty hard jolt.

I'm thinking about replacing it with a box seat. Less lower back pain, and more storage.

I'm 6', 150 pounds, have my spring seat turned as soft as it will go. . . and still I look at the wiper motor
How do you guys light weight get the seat low enough to see out to the horizon?

I just get some butter heated up a bit in the microwave and apply it on myself with a turkey baster. Then I get the wife to wedge me in with a spud bar.

 

[fuzzytoaster]

Wow.. I may just be the lightest SS guy here! 5'10" 135lbs after a good meal. I can fit alright but my knees and elbows get banged up more often than not.

 

[davidkroberts]

5'6" on a good day and 184 lbs...... i also can ride coach on planes without issues. short people designed everything around you just to pi** you off...... thought ya'll should know.

 

[RANDYDIRT]

5'10 325 drove a buddies a3 with no problems

 

[mattg2448]

6'3" 210 pounds, I'm still good!

You mentioned the A3. Two big plusses for big guys there. First the steering wheel is a few inches smaller and second the seat is adjustable for the drivers weight. So, if you lie to the seat and tell it you weigh less than you do, it drops down farther.
