The studs that hold the tracks to the floor can be moved , they are carriage type and there should be a hole forward of their current mounting that will allow you to move the seat rearward.

Bench or bucket ?

It's fairly easy to fab up some brackets to move the seat back several inches. Here's a write up I did a few years ago over at the SlantSix forum (btw, I'm 6'7"):

Here's some universal brackets. Moves the seat 1.5" to 2" (not enough for someone 6'7" ).

6'7" I'm 5'6" and am glad my seat goes forward far enough

Maybe this thread might help. I made several posts regarding an "alternative" that the prior owner used. Hope it helps.
