Arm rest upholstery question
I found a set of original Ford truck armrests that are in not so nice shape on the outside. I do not have them yet so my question is do they get covered with upholstery all over? From the photos it looks like one is worn thru to the insides. Is it worth reworking an old set or should I spend the $50.00 for a new set?

Guy from the HAMB needed a pitman arm. I sent him my bent one. He's an upholstery guy... asked what he could do for me. I replied and he sent me some ford car armrests with patterns for the foam and coverings. Upholstered them myself.
A picture of what you are looking at would help. If you are a Texas school teacher you could only afford to do them yourself.

Depends on whether your going for original / stock or just rebuild...as far as I know the after market are bare and need to be covered anyway.
Himmelberg, good to see you back
