I totally agree! My '69 Dart project car with a 4-speed/bench seat will be the first bench seat car I've had in over 20 years. I had some reservations because I DO still LOVE bucket seats/console cars, but......those consoles are a bit weighty and I wanted to drop off a few pounds off the car too. And I don't do buckets without a console.
As short as you are, a passenger would be shoved up against
the dash if they was tall if you use a bench seat.
I am tall and being in a bench against the dash is miserable.
Hey, I never thought about that.....you're absolutely right! Well, there's always the "wooden blocks on the pedals" option. LOL I can't vote b/c I'm basically a buckets/console person, but on this project, I'm going bench!
