    I'm looking for a set of decent condition 16" Armrest Backing Plates for the 70-72 GS.

    The chrome plastic backing plates that go behind the armrest bases.

    Do you have an existing pair? If so, you can get them rechromed for $50-60/pr.

    I have a set from a 68... don't know if they are the same.
    If you are interested, I will take pictures.

    Sorry guys,
    The 68 backing plates are different. They have a ribbed aluminum piece attached near the front, that the 69-70 pieces do not have.

    ...and the area that the ribbed alum piece covers is inset so the alum piece sits flush. Someone needs to put a 68 chrome base behind a 16" armrest to see how well the armrest covers this feature. It may be that it is unnoticeable but I haven't checked. Patton
