Pedal to seat numbers are gonna stick you. Pedal mods are easy but the pedal to floor travel is the issue with that. You dont ant to get the "gunboats" caught under the dash LOL. My dad was tall and used to swing his left leg out onto the running board on the 26 touring when practical.
Consider getting another seat tub to modify for you, but on a stoopid note, try turning the steering wheel upside down... stranger things have happened!
Unfotunately the stuff WAS non adjustable... look at pics of drivers in Ts with their knees in their chests. ;-((
On shortening the tube... the tube is not a problem. However the shaft is. ME? Id cut the shaft just under the gears, shorten it, then bore the planetary gear plate for re-welding. Thats the strongest way and better than a butt welded shaft. I think that the plate and shaft were spun welded (friction welded) as arc welding wasnt done in the day. I just had mine apart and it really looked like one piece. A forging maybe? ws
