armrest
I just got my 69 C10 back from my upholstery guy. I need to find some armrests that will mount directly in the two holes on the original doors. I dont really care for the big original ones. I am looking for white armrests or some that can be wrapped in vinyl possibly? My door panels are white and orange. Anyone putting different armrests in 67-72 C10's?? Thanks guys!

Re: armrest
I don't like the big ones either. I bought ones for a 67 to put on mine, alot smaller and fit perfect. Not sure if they come in colors or not, but I guess you could dye them.

Re: armrest
you could use this style. they started in the mid to late 50's with this style in gm trucks. they have the same hole spacing as 67 72 trucks.

Re: armrest
I used some from a 1953 Chevy truck, bolted right up to the original holes.

Re: armrest
WWOTR. What year truck are your armrests made for? I like those! I'd like to just have my upholstery guy wrap them in my matching vinyl. Thanks guys!

Re: armrest
Thanks for posting this! I've been considering these on my metal door panels, and you just confirmed it for me!
