Front seats! How far back will they go? 120-130

This also applies to seats for 240's (at least early models). You would be surprised what a difference that 1.5-2" can make.

My 1982 240 wagon (the only lemon I ever had) was loaned to my father-in-law in a time of extreme need. My wife is 4'10" so we had the seat in the forward set of holes. When the FIL tried to get in, his 6'6", 280# frame was not having any of it. A quick 15 minute change and he was (barely) comfortable behind the wheel.

The fat bastard sacked out the already marginal seat foam, broke the pristine center console and broke the lumbar support. No matter, the tree through roof during an ice storm put an end to those little problem.
