Hi: I do not know if this is a surprise to members of the C-Body forum but it was a surprise to me.
I was at the local Pull and Save today and there was a 1994 Dodge full size van with the door open. The arm rest on the door looked exactly the same as the arm rest in my 1967 Polara. I decided to pull the arm rests to see if I was correct and sure enough, the arm rests and bases are identical.
The darker blue arm rest and base in the photos are from the 1994 van while the lighter blue arm rest and chrome base in the photos are from my 1967 Polara.
I got two very nice arm rests and bases for $12.
There was also a 1984 Dodge van at the same place and it had the same arm rests.

Pretty sure c is bigger than b. Maybe chargers have the same size, maybe I'll remember to measure my fury and charger to compare
Doubt Charger would be different than 2 door Coronets or Satellites. I was under the impression the size was due to 2 or 4 door.
Neat bit of info though.
I'm not surprised. A lot of old parts have been used in newer models. I believe it to be the reason such things as brake drums are still available for the vintage stuff. They are used in later trucks.
