$15.00 + $8.95 shipping is what I would ask from Fordification memeber for a set that has no rips or tears and are ready to bolt on. I have a pair of Factory black ones. I might also mention that with dying them ( as I do that as well.) that it's easier to dye a light colored set dark rather than a dark set light. Also to use a quality dye not Plasticote (The official spray paint product of NASCAR) as it will flake off no matter what it says on the can. It may take a month or two but it does flake off. I would and do use a product called ( SEM vinyl dye) and use my spray gun to apply three coats. It's the best on the market and is what Body & Paint shops use to dye the vinyl & trim replacement pieces on cars.

My stock 67 armrests just had big philips screws holding them in.

67's had the phillips head screws and took a different arm rest. The 67 Galaxies & Customs also used the same arm rests in the front as the trucks did. the 68 to 72 arm rests are different as the 67 was the only one of the series to have door crank handles

Most hardware stores carry it. Upholstery shops will have it as well. The stuff is very durable. In a past life I owned a pizza restaurant and I painted the seats of my booths with vinyl paint. A lot of butts slid across those seats for the 3 years before I sold the place and they held up incredibly well.

Underdog, pm me and let me know what type payment you prefer and I'll get payment headed your way. Better to buy from another member than botch a paint job. Someone might have need of a blue or brown one some day.

O.K. Thanks. It's been so rainy and muggy here lately I haven't gotten out to work on it anyway.
