Window Crank Door Handle Escutheon

Assuming these were on a '56 originally. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Please provide installation instructions and tips.
My upholstery guy is wigging out saying they were never on the trucks originally. He does good work but can be hard to convince of anything he doesn't believe.

This is on the project I've been working on for my brother-in-law for the last 2 1/2 years (my own personal episode of Overhaulin). It's almost done.

They are original to the 56 but not sure if it was for the custom cabs only that had the door panels. Mine originally had them..

If your truck is custom cab with the cardboard door panels, this is the correct escutcheon to be used. If you are going with a padded custom door panel, they may not fit and look ok. They were used so that the rotation of the window and door handles did not mar the cardboard door panels.
