81-91 Truck Arm Rest Pad RH (Red)
Cracked, split and sun-faded arm rest pads are one of the first things anyone notices when they open the door on a square-body truck. Decades of elbows, UV exposure and heat in the cab break down the original covering until the foam shows through or the pad collapses. This OER part W8191202 is a reproduction of the passenger side (RH) pad in red, built with the same tapered profile and Madrid grain finish GM used from the factory. It brings the door panel back to the right look without hunting for a clean used pad that has survived thirty-plus years.
Fitment and Color
The pad fits 1981 through 1991 Chevrolet trucks along with the Blazer, Jimmy and Suburban, which covers the late square-body C/K pickups and the R/V trucks, crew cabs and SUVs that carried the same body into 1991. It is the right-hand pad only and is sold individually, so order the matching driver side piece separately if both doors need attention. The red matches the original interior color, and if your truck wears a different interior shade the pad can be refinished with OER interior paint for an exact match to the rest of the trim.
Installation
No drilling or cutting is needed. The pad attaches to the original door panel trim using the existing hardware and clips, so the job is mostly a matter of removing the old pad, cleaning up the mounting points and fastening the new one in place. Take a moment to check the clips while the old pad is off, since brittle ones are common on trucks this age and a fresh set keeps the pad tight against the panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this arm rest pad come as a pair?
No, this listing is the passenger side (RH) pad only and it is sold individually. If the driver side pad is also cracked, order the left-hand version in the same color so both doors match.
Will it fit my 1988-1991 R/V crew cab or Suburban?
Yes, the listed fitment runs from 1981 through 1991 and includes Chevrolet trucks, the Blazer, Jimmy and Suburban. Those later R/V models kept the square-body door panels, so the same pad applies.
My interior is not red. Can I still use this pad?
The pad can be painted with OER interior paint, which is how many restorers match it to blue, saddle or other factory interior colors. Proper prep and light coats keep the Madrid grain texture visible after painting.
