Hi Ed, Welcome to the group. If I were that tall (I'm vertically challenged), I'd opt for no rudder pedals for the additional leg room, and guess that a bench seat could be cut down and temper foam or some such modern material used for comfortable seat cushion.
Leg & torso proportions will also play into the best configuration, particularly with the seat cushions. I purchased my Ercoupe from a gentleman who is 6'4" and know there are others closer to you height who can add further. Happy Holidays & 'good hunting'.
