Where do you rest your arm ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Spray-Bomb · 02-12-2008, 03:31 AM

Lets see them arm rests / door pulls (the ones that are on your doors lol)

Ol'Rover · 02-12-2008, 03:45 AM

Sorry that the poster is covering it...but the new seat arm-rest...usually i just hang my other arm out the window lol...

67ChevyRedneck · 02-12-2008, 05:24 AM

Left arm on the window sill (when it's warm) and on the '72 arm rest when it's cold. Right hand steers.

or....

Left hand steers, right hand rests on the Lokar shifter.

BigDaddyDave · 02-12-2008, 05:40 AM

Both hands on the wheel so all that power doesn't get away from me.HAHAHAHA Left on window sill right on wheel.

Spray-Bomb · 02-12-2008, 01:31 PM

What I'm really looking for is something to pull the door shut / rest my arm on when it's cold outside (I don't like the stock arm rests)

Cuz like the most of you, I hang my arm out the window when its rolled down lol

I don't have a pic right now, but my 67 has what appears to be 66 arm rests installed. Like you, I'm not too fond of the "standard" ones installed in most of our trucks. I do like the ones in my truck, though.

kool, pics would be great when you get a chance

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-13-2008, 02:38 AM

My door pannel fell off so its usally holdin a cup of coffee

Dingfodgy · 02-13-2008, 03:12 AM

No Armrests or Door panels on the '67, so I'm a switch-hitter at the wheel, depending on whether I'm takin' a tug of Coffee/Soda in the jankity cupholder dooey-bob on the hump or takin' a drag off the ole cancer-stick. If and when it ever stops snowing / raining around here (sometime in June, I'm told), I'll be hangin' the left gun out the window for sure.

crazy longhorn · 02-13-2008, 03:22 AM

No time to rest the arm with a 6 spd box.....left hand on the wheel, right hand on the shifter

Here's a couple from last summer/fall, when I was taking her down. If you want something more detailed, I can go dig them up in the garage.....

A lot of 67's came with those. They were a carry over from the previous body style like the vent vindow locks, floor vent pulls, etc that only 67's had.

HomerJ · 02-13-2008, 09:56 AM

hmm... your picture looks better than mine

96blazr · 02-13-2008, 10:47 AM

Well, if you look closely you'll see the arm rest, hehehehehe.

68C15 · 02-13-2008, 11:48 AM

96blazr, I could hang my arm on that all day long.

homer, I have the exact same ones in my 68.

1LoC10 · 02-13-2008, 11:52 AM

The only arm rest I have is on my seat

I was going to post something funny on this thread... as I have only one arm (lost left arm when I was 5 yrs old)...
but then you went and posted "Like MOST of us.... " you totally ruined it for me... just kidding...

Oh...
to answer your question.... (this is serious too)
While on the highway or any mostly straight roadway, I steer with my left leg and rest my right arm/hand on the seat next to me.... that one arm gets tired on long trips without another arm to switch to...
