I believe they'll come with the mounting template, the 55-59's do and they're the same as 60-66 .... of course if you've got used ones that won't help  if you check the door behind the panel near where they go, there should be captive nuts there that the rests mount to Bill | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 50 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 50 | thanks. i have ordered the arm rests, just waiting for them to get here..... along with alot of other parts for the ol' girl | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 | It's been a long time, but I believe to mark the holes for mine, I simply twisted in a couple of screws or bolts into the nutserts in the door, leaving them long enough to touch the panel. Then I smeared paint or grease on the head of each bolt and attached the panel. After pulling the panel back off the correct location was imprinted on the back. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 237 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 237 | My 64 had a factory arm rest in the driver door. I don't have the arm rest anymore but the door panel still has the holes in it. The stove screws go through the arm rest into a threaded lug pressed in the door. I can make you a template or email you the specs as to where mine sits if you need them. Just let me know..
Take Care, Good Luck and God Bless.

You need to go to the junk yard and get 4 of those nuts which have a press on snaps attached to them. Once you get those, as one of the other responses said like Markeb, put a couple of screws in an mark the inside panel. Note: the arm rest screws go in at about a 30 deg. angle to the door. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | The new armrests from Jim Carter have a yellow template card right in the box. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | You can order the nuts through McMasters they are called Caged Nuts, | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 | I believe the assembly manual has the dimensions in it. | | |
