I had a 75 that I ran in a tuff truck comp a few times and I was only 16 at the time, I was probably around 5'9". I had a roll cage and a 5 point harness in it. With the stock seat in it, the top of my helmet would bounce off the roof when I went off jumps, that was with the harness as tight as we could get it. So then I mounted the seat right to the floor with no runners and it helped. Normal driving or wheeling should be fine, but if you're gonna jump it at all, you might want to figure something out.

I'm 6' 6" and after replacing the stock steer wheel with a much smaller one, i fit comfortably in my Luv even with the bench seat.

im only a 5'10" dwarf and i dont rekon theres stuff all room in a luv. Well the leg room doesnt make me happy anyways.

want to be careful what seats you use. If they are not a thin profile on the back you would loose leg room really quick.

Bob is right about the seats, find some thin back buckets and mount them as low as possible and you can make A LOT of room compared to the stock bench. I'm 6' 2" and I fit fine in mine, but the 75 I had came with mid 70s camaro seats and it was a tight fit even for my ex-wife who is like 5' 10" or smaller. Comfy once you were in, but hard to get in and out of.
