Armrest on 56' ?
 
What works? There are 2 nuts in the brace behind the panel approx. 6" centers, are there for armrests? Easy enough to locate and drill the panel but what armrests are you guys using?

I have a set of OE armrests from a '57 GMC. I also have 1/2 of a set from a '60s van that looks similar. There are plastic aftermarket versions available, I believe.

This version looks like the OE parts I have:

This version from LMC looks a little different:

Not OEM or repop, I got these off of a Isuzu Trooper, 4 door, back doors at a wrecking yard for $5. The grey (photos beigh) matches my leather seats. It screws from underneath at an angle like stock.

Here are the threaded unused nuts I'm talking about do the armrests use them?

Yes, those are for the stock arm rest.

For my 56, I did buy the aftermarket armrest from Classic Parts. Aligned properly and fits as they should.

They must have been an option because my door panels are not drilled, easy fix
