The tough thing about this is I was certain the bases of the armrests were blue. As far as I can find, no one makes an armrest with a blue base. The Filling station does offer a second series blue armrest DG-23 but I think it's a black base with a blue top. My interior was the two tone deluxe blue, they didn't get special arrests did they? Although I have never seen anything on this I could swear I have seen a few two tone green interior 54-55 trucks with the later looking armrests in green. In fact there is a 55.1 truck on ebay with the deluxe two tone green interior and it has old green 55.2 style armrests in it. Here is a link ebay

They are a very dark navy blue. I expect to have them recovered. I asked Jim about them personally several years back at a show in Hutchinson KS but he just looked "confused" by my question. Item number UPA228B Arm rests Classic also has one that shows up much lighter. Classic armrests

I just may paint mine. If there really was a blue 55.2 style then nobody is remaking it so painting is a good option.

Recovering the tops is the easy part, finding a blue base is the hard part, however I think I figured out that the ones I am really looking for are 53-54 Chevy car armrests. They came in blue but I find a lot of green ones.

So where is a good place to uncover and find some original paint left? What were the OEM colors? It's currently a bronze/gold-tone. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |

Start a new post and we can answer your questions, this subject was on blue armrests for a 1955 second series truck, and your question is about interior color of a 1941. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 137 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 137 | Thanks for the heads up; I started a new thread. Good luck on "Blue". Wish I could help. | | |
