Re: YJ seats???
The steering column should be a standard 'Saganaw' column. These are
used in full sized GM vehicles and some small mid size like Acadians or Chevettes. Camaros used them too. A full sized GM van or pickup also. By the by my 5'2" wife likes to use a obusform seat back because it moves her just that little forward so she can reach easier. You could also maybe reposition the seat on the track to get it a bit more forward. Mike tinak wrote: > AHh. the TJ seat are smaller. Which is PERFECT for me.
