Sorry, no Denny I don't. I do remember searching 'arm rests' on eb@y for months armed with the on center measurement. If the 'oc' was not mentioned in the sellers info, I asked. My thinking was that General Motors wouldn't go too far outside the box during the 40's-50's for a simple add on like this and I would have success. As you can see from the pictures, there are three screws holding on that metal cover underneath and the two machine stovebolts securely fastened to the dedicated females in the door.
Armrest without cover. Cover affixes to armrest with three screws. IMHO people generally under value the importance of a good arm rest/door pull. In the fall-winter when the window is up one pulls the door with the inside door opener which it is not really made to perform that task. In the months when a window is normally open the lower window sill can be used as a door pull leading to grime and wear of paint. After all, these are farm trucks in their souls and the aforementioned concerns were of little importance to the original owners.
