The inner door panels were rusted through, so I bought new panels from LMC. The new panels came with holes for armrests, so I bought replacement armrests. After installing, the seat back doesn't have enough clearance to rotate forward, hitting on the new armrests. I've looked in the shop manual and there is not one reference to the armrests. I have the original seat. Did these trucks originally come with armrests? Anyone have this problem?

I wondered this myself because my 64 has no holes in the panel but when I pulled it off it has holes in the door for mounting armrests. I will look in the assembly manual to see if I can find something.

armrest are optional equipment. My 62 only has drivers side armrest.

i have a 54 and the new panels have no holes but the door has captured nuts to mount the arm rest. i am ordering the arm rest today. i have held off for months thinking i would use rod door panels but the extra cost has slowed that idea. ron
