BulldogTom Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Does anyone have a picture of what the armrest looks like in a 1952? I can't remember taking any out of my truck, I know I don't have any, and I don't even know what to look for. Anyone have some for sale? Thanks Tom Hollister, CA Quote
B1B Keven Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 I believe the arm rests Roberts sells are correct for the '51-'53 trucks. However, you can find MoPar arm rests on e-Bay that will work. The pair I have in my truck came out of a '53 Desoto. Quote

Merle Coggins Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 The ones from Robers aren't actually correct for a Pilot-House truck, but they'll work. I have them in my truck. They are shorter and will require drilling another hole in the door to attach them. Merle Quote
B1B Keven Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Merle, Don't they have 5 3/4" between the mounting holes? Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) 5-1/4" spacing on my 52.... Edited June 3, 2013 by Dodgeb4ya Quote

BulldogTom Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks guys. Now I know what to look for. Tom Hollister, CA Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Tom, I spent a long time on epay looking for armrests, best of luck, took me while but I got my two. Quote
David A. Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Tom, I have a pair of black ones I was going to put on ebay. I think they are the year you are looking for. I'll measure them when I get home to be sure they are the right hole spacing. If your interested, give me your email address and I'll try to send you some pictures. David A. Quote

Scruffy49 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Anyone have a shot from the top, looking down on the armrests? I want to make a set in solid hardwood for my 49, need to know the size of the cutout. I can figure the rest w/o issue. The first set (oversized, intentionally) are delaminating, would prefer a stock sized, solid set. Quote

48Dodger Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 I love the ones I got from you Kev.....can't remember which car you took them out of.....but they fit perfect with no mods. 48D Quote
ggdad1951 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 got my arm rests back from getting new covers! Anyone know the proper bolt length to hold them on? Too long and it will hit the window regulator. Quote
