Interchangeably parts or the lack of

[Slick Willy]

Ive been working on my 1967 Fury 3. Does anyone know if the 13” armrest of the B bodies will work on our C bodies. Does anyone happen to k now if there’s a parts interchangeable book available?

Yes they are the same, and still hard to find from those b-body folks.

As far as parts interchange book the best answer I can give you is "not really" or "kinda," but nothing comprehensive, at least that i'm aware of. Like most things for these cars, you'll have to work for it a little harder.

- There are, of course, Hollander type books that exist that show interchange on some of the parts, but to my experience that's mostly drivetrain and major structural/accident repair parts. You could try eBay for something from the era.

- Some of the current aftermarket suppliers (Year One, ABC, Mancini, Bouchillon, Classic Industries, etc. etc.) will note platform application and years. Of course, these companies are generally catering to the $ cars; A, B, E ... occasionally they'll mention C).

- Also, there are original/Mopar parts catalogs available online that list the factory part numbers where you can look up a part number for your car and then compare that to others.

After over 30 years of messing with this stuff I have decided that a LOT of B body stuff interchanges from similar years - you'll just have to dig and ask questions and experiment.

Good luck/happy hunting!

Thank you for the info.

What about 69 Roadrunner or Charger armrests on a 69 Polara? I need the shorter ones for a 4 Dr HT but I think the RR ones might be the short style

They are pretty much all the same. Just go by length. There are 9 1/2" and 13" long.

Earlier armrests are obviously different, but the same applies.

Want to thank those who commented. I found some online they sell them in pairs.

I have used B body armrests many times with success. I have also repaired large damaged areas with Liquid Vinyl Patch. The package says that it is for small repairs, but with care they can do much larger areas. Be sure to trim any dried, hardened or upturned vinyl surrounding the damaged area and to slightly bevel the surrounding vinyl. Further, after it cures, hit it with the interior spray paint from Herb's (or whatever their name is now) and motor on down the road.

Thx, what about the chrome backing? Same applies?

Yes,

Yes, just keep an eye on the alignment spikes and screw positions (usually the same), and the pressure pattern the backing makes on the door panel from being squished against it.

Thank you all for the input and advice. I found some repops online.
