Armrests?
Can anyone tell me what is suposed to be inside the door to accept the screws for the armrests? I removed the door paneles and there are square holes no inserts, are these still available for a 1964 c 10?
 Checked lmc and couldnt find anything.

Re: Armrests?

Re: Armrests?
I have the nuts on the drivers side but not on the passenger (though the holes are there). I think that's pretty common as a lot of these didn't have passenger arm rests.
My (simple) solution is going to be welding some nuts to the back of the panel. Easy easy! |

Re: Armrests?
What you need is a couple of 1/4-20 cage nuts. I've gotten them at a fasteners supply store before. I'll look and see if I have some...

Re: Armrests?
You can get the square nuts for securing the arm rests to the door from:
www.classicparts.com I have purchased and used them. They work well. I caution people from attaching the arm rests directly to the door panel, because they have a tendancy to "oil-can" when pulled on, to shut the door. By attaching them through the door panel and into the door shell, they are much more solid. Last edited by LILRED66; 07-15-2008 at 11:55 AM. |

Re: Armrests?
The cage nuts are available at Classic Parts, about $.49 each.
