Just curious, I need a fresh set of armrest bases for my '69 standard interior and it looks like there's a ton of them available that fit a variety of GM products. Anyone know for sure if they are all interchangeable?

Are all GM Armrests in the 67-69 era identical?

Hi Mike - my experience kind of sucked when it came to arm rests. The bases seem to be pretty similar but the pads are the real problem - hopefully you have your originals. My bases had the screw holes lined up incorrectly and required modification. The screws that came with the first set were junk. I believe I settled on Camaro Central for the bases and PUI for the pads.

68 and 69 are interchangeable—with some other GM cars/Nova/Chevelle.
67 standard ….deluxe is built into the door panel. Disregard the arrow.
For the A body, they may fit and look the same. Click on the link to see.
Driver side and passenger side mount holes are differen.

Hey Tim... I have the original pads so that's good to know. So I found a source that lists the Dynacorn bases as replacements for a 69 Buick Skylark and they look the same as Camaro, Chevelle, Cutlass, LeMans armrest bases. The guy that did my interior over lost the DS base and ironically he gave me two PS bases and pads back after covering them with vinyl because he felt the molded plastic didn't measure up to the door panel material finish.

BINGO! Just kept searching and finally came across the OER part number for replacements (OER8769928) and eventually got on OER's web page. Here's the list of cars these armrest bases were used in:
