I like the looks of that. Pretty cool. Not much of an arm rest though.

I would want more of an arm rest. BUT, if you don't feel the need for one that type of pull does look good--

Arm rests for the 68-72 F100 are pretty common on ebay. I picked up a pair in good condition (some rubbing and shininess on the driver's side) for 10 bucks. Included the 3 mounting screws.
