Hello gang!
I just purchased a nice set of armrest inserts off ebay. My door panels were replaced by the previous owner, years ago. The armrest inserts were never put back on. He used a vinyl tape to cover the steal, underneath. My concern was, the eventual wear and tear on the armrest pad. The inserts I got are steal with a factory vinyl in the hand grip area. My question is: Did the 72-74's come with plastic inserts? It just seems like, I had plastic ones in my 73 Cuda'. I think I remember one having been cracked.

Or maybe, the plastic was a Cuda' thing?

Yes, they switched over to plastic sometime around then. My 72's were plastic. I have one steel and one plastic, as my drivers side door was replaced after an accident sometime in the misty past of the car.

My cars an early 72 and they are both plastic.

Thanks for the reply's! I found my own answer after posting this. When I ordered these inserts, I only stumbled on them. You know, always looking... In the past, whenever I bidded on them, I let it go because everyone is so damn proud of them. $$$$ They don't reproduce them yet. At least the steel ones, that I know of. I checked ebay last night and, there's a crap load of them. None as good as the ones I purchased, though. This Canadian seller has a bunch, full of rust and the plastic ones are flakey or cracked. The metal ones are pricey . Year One could make a mint reproducing these things.
