Newbie with the LUV.... Want to take out the bench and put buckets in. Does anybody have any ideas of some small buckets that would give me some a bit more leg room. I'm 6'2" and my knees are a bit cramped :(

most of the buckets I looked at took up as much space[some more] seemed like I lost a little space but the comfort makes up for it. the dinky steering wheel from grant and a tractor seat might be a fix.

I went with the smaller mikado wheel and buckets from a mid-80's astro van. I'm 6' and manage to not bang my knees

Here's one that looks to be in better shape than the one I scored.

I may make some bids on that one. However, when he says the outer rings as some cracks???? can that just be leather wrapped to cover them up???

I have not seen anyone make a cab and a half yet. It would be cool if you were up to the work needed.

the wrap that is on there can be replaced, but you can also try some leather conditioner on it and see if that helps..

Here's just a quick link to give you an idea....

Good thing about the Mikado wheel is it fits perfect and can be swapped on in about 15 minutes.

I am 6'-4" and had rx-7 seats in mine.
I fit in it pretty good.
