Can you identify these

Howdy folks

What are the armrests mounted on my 67 C10 ?

The one on the drivers door does not match my interior. Passenger side is close in color. If I could figure out what they came off of, I would buy one for drivers door.

They are mounted with 3 screws . I think the stock armrests are only mounted with 2 screws.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Can you identify these

The '67s had a unique, '67-Only, armrest. Some vendors sell this piece,
it's different from the chunkier '68-'71 armrest.
Behind the door panel, on the door inside are some weld nuts for the armrest bolts to connect to. Remove the door panel after pulling the 2 handles off. You have to drill thru the door panel to make holes to connect the armrest to the assembled door.
I have a junkyard armrest of unknown origin on my drivers side door. It must have been a GM donor because the bolt holes lined up. I found it in the mud and gave a dollar for it. Never found match for the passenger side.
Possibly yours are similar junkyard finds from who knows what.

Re: Can you identify these

I don't want to drill more holes in door panel. If the stock armrests would line up with 2 of the holes I would buy a set.

The 2 farthest screws spacing is 9 3/4 "
Anybody know what the spacing is on the factory armrest?

Should be able to pick ups some vinyl die paint and just freshen them up to the same color.

Re: Can you identify these

The stock arm rest holes are closer to 6 inches I believe. I measured mine a while back. That may not be exact but I know it wasn't 9 3/4"

I emailed Mann's Truck parts and Tracy wrote back " 5 3/4" " are the stock armrest holes for 67's
