question about arm rests

[will2710]

Hey guys, just bought a 66 Chevy SWB stepside last week. I'm ordering a few parts from LMC truck (lock set, tailgate, etc) and one thing I can't seem to find solid info on is the door arm rest. This truck has had some work on it and there are these cloth covered panel on the door. I took them off and I can see three square holes (like what would be used for carriage bolts) about where the arm rests would attach. Were arm rests a factory option? I've seen a lot of pictures here on the forums with just the door handle and the window crank. The guy I bought it from said to roll down the window (and pull on the door) to close the door and not pull on the door handle as that might break it. What do you guys do? Are the holes that I mentioned the correct ones for mounting the arm rest?

Here is the page from the LMC catalog. I'll take some pictures of the door with the cover off later (if that will help).
