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" ).

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