Arm pad and bases?

[Phildidit]

About to purchase some new arm pads and bases for my 67 Coronet 440. After doing some research I have boiled it down to either ABC Moparts or Legendary.. Any opinions on which one I should choose and why ... Thanks

I would suggest checking around on a variety of vendors. Arm rest bases are much cheaper through someone like Van's. There are subtle differences between the bases from one vendor to another in regards to the chrome plating, but for the most part, it is indistinguishable unless you have both in front of you.

For the armrest pads, none of the reproductions are as nice as the originals. I would search out good use for two reasons. First, the reproductions do not offer a provision for the ash trays that I know of. Secondly, all of the reproductions are very firm.

As a vendor for the two companies listed, I personally prefer Bob and his business ABC Moparts. Very good guy to work with and he is actually involved in the manufacturing of the pieces of the dash pads that he sells.

Bob's dash pads are awesome!
