Add more seat travel to 97 Chevy Sportsmobile

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can increase the seat travel on a 97 Chevy Van? I looked around for a new pedestal, but other than a replacement, I could not find anything that would improve the leg room.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

The VW guys remove the seat
and cut off the "stop" on the track

the VW seats slide off forward
with the "stop" cut, it will slide all the way off either way

i have the same issue with Wilson as well as turntable stiffness

will watch this and see if someone w/ Long legs has solved it

Hi I am 6 ft 5 and have a 98 Chevy no leg room problem for me... Or is it for another reason you want to make the seat go further back?

Or head room, or any room for that matter
Yeah I remember that pic from V1 build
Mind you I don't drive from the back seats

That picture kind of reminds me of a pie eating contest...you'd at least get your face plastered
