I figured out how to make it more comfortable!
Went to a flea market and found a gel butt pad which I thought might help for my 12 hour ride home next week. I put it in the truck and went for a ride. It raised me up off the seat about 3 inches which at first was awkward but then I realized since my feet were higher I could move the seat closer to the wheel and still have my legs stretched out. With the seat pulled more forward I could then put the seat back more reclined (I have a regular cab so the back of the seat normally hits the rear window so it can't recline much if the seat is pushed back). Holy crap it's so much more comfortable now! I feel like I'm actually relaxed and rested in the seat instead of sitting up like I'm driving on a bar stool.
Still not quite as cumfy as the fiesta was but we will see how my back feels after the drive home. After the ride down I was in pain for 2 days and could barely walk.
Also scored a set of 16" steel rims at the junkyard for it so I can finally buy the cross climate tires I've been wanting since they don't come in 15" sizes.
Then after being happy with my cumfy seat and new rims I almost crashed into a tree and burnt it to the ground. My cigarette lighter decided to literally fly out of the socket instead of just popping up. It landed on the passenger floor on top of a pile of dirty oil soaked shirts and started smoldering while I was driving. I managed to get pulled over and started tossing burning shirts out on the road...
