Different Arm Rests?
Does anyone know for sure if the 55-65 arm rests will fit the 67-72 trucks?
Thanks.

Re: Different Arm Rests?
I would imagine you could make it work (with some new screw holes and fasteners) on 67-71 door panels, but it doesn't look like it would fit well on the molded plastic '72 door panels.

Re: Different Arm Rests?
This is interesting. I'd like to see the comparison between all other two bolt armrests.

Yes the 55-66 arm rests mounting holes are positioned the same as the 67-71 arm rest holes so you can install them on a 67-71 door panel. No new holes are needed.

Re: Different Arm Rests?
Comparing both, it looks as though the earlier model would drop your elbow down a bit.
Might be more comfortable. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Different Arm Rests?
Thank you guys for the replies....looks like I'll be getting a pair of these then, I prefer the streamline look of this earlier style.
