So my questions:
1. I'm using a '68 mustang rear seat which is 11" from floor board to highest part of the seat. How high are OE seats on a 31?
2. Mirrors, stock mirrors, spare tire mirrors - do not work without becoming a contortionist. What are you using in lieu of stock to see what's behind you?
As always, thank you for any reply.

1. I take it you have a closed cab. If so, here's the schematic:

Shows highest point of seat at 11-11/16" (same for open cab)
2. V8 hinge mirrors have a longer arm that angles upward - dunno if they fit A. If so, maybe could mount on top hinge - be kinda funny-looking but might work.
I love trucks but I agree with others that cabs aren't roomy - you may have to put up with it or trade for another body style...or shrink!
