more room behind wheel m35a2 help?

[bracebldr]

I have a m35a2 wheel to close im a big guy and problem bending leg far enough to accuate clutch as i am tall also any ideas?

If you've got a spring seat you can replace it with a box seat. That will give you a little more room with the belly. Don't think it will help much with the leg room though.

You could install power steering and get a smaller wheel .

Feel for ya buddy. I'm tall also 6'10" and wanted an M35a2 but had to get an a3 to be comfortable. I've heard guys cutting a coil out of the spring under the seat. Other than that its a 5 ton wheel and with that you would need power steering.

The M800 series steering wheel is smaller and a perfect fit.

I cut the back off the box seat so I could move my hips farther to the rear, so my long legs (and bum hip and size 13 boots) could all fit betwixt the seat and clutch pedal. I can take a photo for you tomorrow if you like.

Pedals are adjustable from underneath.

I feel your pains but I thought the a3 was the same cab if not fill us in!

Different seat and smaller steering wheel

Yep, what sgtstewart said. Different seat and steering wheel. Makes for about 2-3 inches more leg room.

ok how big is the steering wheel and what seat is it?

 

[Crackerjax]

I have a 5 ton wheel and box seat it works well....little harder to turn...but hit the gym and you should be good

 

[Cigarjoe]

I don't have a duece yet but I thought about cutting a few inches out of the steering column and shaft, and welding it back together. Has this been done or tried by anyone?

 

[Divemaster920]

You could do some cutting.....But then the steering wheel would be hitting your legs.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Joe, John Tennis does that mod (jatonka).

I removed the seatback with it's thick cushion, & replaced it with a piece of plywood & 1" padding.
Works very well.

no S/Wheel room cure

I got cheesed with the ridiculouse way the drivers postion is in these trucks,,sooooooo! |Take out the mounting bolts Re-Drill as high as you can lift the steering wheel and presto! Leg Room. and the ability to get at the pedals for mundane things like de-clutching and Stopping! its night snowing and cold but I tried to PIC the postion of the s/wheels in my deuce and 5 ton. good luck.

 

[bracebldr]

Coudnt see in pics are you redrilling bolt on column mount ...in cab?

 

[greenjeepster]

You should cut a hole in the back of the cab and mount a sleeper...then you can move the seat back as far as you like
