Hey Terry......That crossed my wee mind as I have a lot left over from the bed project, but it seems that the 56 screws go in up at a slight angle, but I forget. I suppose the tin will give enough once you start the screw. Thanks I don't have the nuts on the driver side so I can see what they looked like. Just the 2 square holes.

Second, what color would they be from the factory? Everything on the interior of my truck is green, with the exception of the bench seat that is red. Do both parts of the arm rest match the green body color?
Thanks!

As for the colour, the majority of Arm Rests that I've seen that were Original to the truck, had the base of the Arm Rest the colour of the interior of the truck w/ the Padded section Black & I've only seen Car Arm Rest that were matching in colour.

Hey Lift Tech, my wife sent your armrests off today!! Like I said they are covered in real leather not vinyl. If you dont already know this NEVER use Armor All on anything not even vinyl!! But if you want to put something on them use a product called Lexol it's specially made for leather. They make a product for vinyl called Vinylex its good for it unlike the Armor All. Armor All dries it out and takes out all the oil that's in the vinyl.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!

arm rests, who'd think there would be so many posts/views...........
thought i add acouple pictures showing the difference between regular 48-52 doors and "Deluxe Cab" doors with the arm rests mounting things, the mounting screws go in at an angle so they don't contact glass.
the grey door has the mounting stuff to bolt replacement "factory style" armrests like the ones dennis carpenter sells.

I knew Armor All was bad stuff, but I was always told it was especially bad to get on paint. I didn't know it actually dried stuff out.
Thanks again, I can't wait to see them.
