Does anyone have any leads for arm rests for the original seats? My seats
are great and the previous owner had them new upholstery but they didn't put
on the arm rests.

I have a couple of seats, but don't know if they are OEM. Post some pictures of yours so I can figure out if the armrests from mine will work.

My coach was hatched in late '73. I just gave the original seats away a year ago. They had arm rests but did not recline. They came as spares with my coach. I never used them but I'm sure the lack of back rest adjustment made them uncomfortable.

Brian,

Here's a link to an OEM seat with the arm rest installed, note how there is a "notch" in the side for the arm to fit down into.

You know I have the original seats and it’s true that they do not recline but they are pretty comfortable. Then again Isabel and I are fond of stopping 3 or 4 times on the way to LA…
