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.
