Console arm rest

[71RRHI]

I have seen other's who have added a charger console armrest to their Coronet console. While at Carlise I found one for sale in good condition for a good price.

If I remove my console door it will fit, but I think I missing something. I don't see a way to secure it to the console body. Anybody have pictures on how this mounts?

You need the two brackets for each side of the inner console to screw it down to. And backside support straps to screw it to. Then the 4 big Phillips to screw the assembly down

By any chance do you have a picture of the bracket.

Looks very close. Ask for length.

You should be fine. If I am wrong I will let you know.

Just measured mine. You are good to go. Must admit I am a little envious. Enjoy it!

I did this on my 1967 R/T years ago. I think C-body console has this arm rest, too.

Yes the monaco 500s and 300s etc but not lower Dodges and Plymouths

I had one briefly on my '69 Charger. Didn't work well for me because I had a reverse manual VB. Third gear would put the shifter real close to the pad.....

I didn't think of that. I also have a reverse manual VB. Good thing it's easily reversible if I dont like it.

Thanks for posting that. I was beginning to think the shifter in my Charger was misaligned, because it came so close to the console pad in first gear.

Got the arm rest installed. I like it so far. The shifter is close to the arm rest but has not been a problem for me. It could be about 1" higher to be more comfortable. But will live with it for now, maybe modify it in the future.
