i think they are all made in black and then dyed. of course you could duct tape your old ones.

My black ones are cracked and I used electrician's tape. It seems to hold well and matches the black. Oh well, anything until I get started on my rebuild.

Mar-hyde makes a dye that is excellent and as far as i know it don't flake or rub off.

You're right about the armrests being moved though. They should straddle the door opener, pull lever thingy. (Whatever it's called.

I got my blue arm rest out of an e-conoline van slightly newer models than our trucks, seems that the arm rest in the vans take less of a beating than in the trucks and in most wrecking yards are more plentiful , you might have to pick and choose but they are the same and will fit our applications

FYI, my '71 had C8O part numbers. They are the same as '68 torino/ fairlane/ falcon four door rear arm rests. I got a beatuiful set of black ones out of a '69 falcon for $10 yesterday that a little hand cleaner had looking like new. I know the '68-9 torino blue interior is lighter vs the trucks, but not sure about the falcons (didn't see any blue interior falcons sitting around.) I do remember having a set of dark blues ones laying around years ago, but got rid of them because they didn't fit my '69 torino GT vert correctly.

The car front arm rests are longer between the bolt holes in the back section.

Those arm rests don't look correct for '68. Are they off a '67? My LMC rests seem to lack a little in quality but they are definitely better than what I had.

yea the ones erik is showing are for a 67 only. if i had a set of blues i would just trade him straight up for his 67's.
