Anyone have a source for these? I'd like to put an armrest on the driver's side, but it didn't have them originally on my truck.

 

how about welding up those holes and installing riv-nuts? Or just bend a couple up out of sheet metal?

 

Rivnuts won't work easily because the screws go in at an angle - hard to see in the pic.

These things are made of spring steel so they 'snap' into place. The driver's side doesn't have the openings for them, but those would be easy enough to cut in. If I could find a second set of these, I'd be set.

 

I have removed a bunch of those but I can't say that I could get my hands on a pair now. If I stumble across a pair I'll hold them for you.

 

I should have a pair in a door somewhere.. If I find them, I'll send them for postage

 

Can these listed at MidFifty be modified to fit your truck?

Those look just like the OP picture...

 

That looks like the deal! I had looked at Mac's, but not mid-50s! THANKS!

 

That looks like a quick way to add them to a 48-52...

 

My 51 F1 panel had them on both doors from original...

 

Yes, but mounted with a more elaborate piece that AFAIK is not repro'd
