I'm 6'5" and 185 lbs, long torso (only wear a 34" long pant) my head will bump the ceiling of my 81 if I hit a bump without my seat belt, but I put my seats (buckets out of 2nd gen runner) one notch forward of all the way back, and then recline the back as far as it will go.

See if that first gen in downtown sonora is still there. Just ask to ''look at it'' and take a seat in it and see how it feels

Ha ha....I have a booster seat! It's one of those high density foam seats that you can use when your sitting in a tree stand for hunting. And my seat is one notch away from being all the way to the front. But that's ok for the person behind me.

I'm in Modesto and you can check out mine if you like. I do not have Toyota seats in my 83 SR5. Found some seats at the Reno swap meet a few years ago that are more comfortable for my back. I'm 5'10" 230lbs

that trucks sounds like it is set up pretty well.
if you get it are you trailering it back? If you use a tow dolley take the time to pull the rear driveshaft so you don't have an expensive learning experience like I did
