Bench Seat Center Armrest 1968/1967 Mustang
« on: July 07, 2018, 01:03:36 PM »
Having a hard time finding details on this.  Does anyone know if the center armrests for the bench seat are the same for a 1967 and 1968 models?

I am not for sure but I believe they are the same. I think I have parts of a 68 one. You might check the assembly manuals to be sure.

I only have the 1968 Assembly Manual which lists the assembly as C5ZB-65644A22.  I’m assuming the assemblies are the same since it isn’t a C8 part but wanted to verify before I pull the trigger on ordering a part.  Anyone here able to verify the assembly with a 1967 Assembly Manual?

According to the MPC (attached) 644A22 is for the arm rest, less cover and pad.

The pad is 65478, and the cover is 644A18.

65-68 all refer to the exact same diagram in the MPC.

Please see the attached document, I hope it helps you out.

In answer to your original question, yes - except for the vinyl covering (pattern, color ?). The individual pieces are all shown as C5ZB-65xxxxx which can be interpreted as 1965 Mustang items used in 1968.

Thanks Bob.  I wish I would have seen his before I ordered one.  If it turns out to be he incorrect part, I’ll shoot you a note.
