The door panel is held on by plastic clips attatched to the door, and are pushed into the door itself. A special tool (nothing expensive) is made that will pry the two apart. Or you can try a screwdriver to pry them apart. Just try not to damage if the panels are nice.

My 74 ahd metal sissor clips. And you can screw up your door panel very easily without the tool!

Use a piece of thin sheet metal and make a 90 deg break 1" from the end. Then slide it till you hit the clips then tilt side to side to pop them clean of the panel. Done it for years. The arm rest should have screws.

door panel
the door panel on the fords have 1 or maybe 2 phillips screws in top of the arm rest and there are plastic clips around the outer edge of the panel. the clips will brobably get messed up but they canbe found at any parts house cheap. the trick is to be careful because the door panels like to break in front of the window crank so be careful. just lift the edge of the panel and it should pop right off. hope this helps.
