Re: fabricating an armrest

That looks good Orrie and doesn't look the least bit out of place on that door.

Jack, I don't have one door in any of my AD stuff with an armrest but I'd say not too big and not too gaudy should work great. Like any other change we make on these trucks it should blend in with the rest of the design of the build and be an improvement rather than an afterthought or something that demands so much attention you notice it before seeing the complete interior as a package. Varnished wood on the armrests that matched a varnished insert on the console would be pretty nifty though.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
