Default 73 Seat size

I have a 73 coupe. The seats are comfy but I am too big and experience cramped legs. Do any of the later models have thinner seats that would gain some more room? Thanks

68-78 or 77 are all the same and the 78-82 are the clamshell style with additional thigh bolstering, so perhaps worse.

Remove the seat track and mount directly to floor. It won't be adjustable but no one else should be driving your car anyway.
