I did a search for these armrests and these guys came up. Anyone ever used these guys, because they seem to have a lot of parts....Mark

Yeah, I was surprised that I had never heard of them and that they had never come up in a search before, but I suppose that the Google wizard works in mysterious ways......Mark

These are available at the dealer also. Do a search on moparts.com about jims auto parts. The consensus is to avoid them.

Thx for the replies but I tried the dealer ,JC Witney and Jim"s with no luck. Jim"s had for one side but not a pair. I will have to keep looking, I know I have seen repo ones for the older dodge trucks but I don"t remember where.

Wow, after searching those guys that I linked to, all I can say is caveat emptor, Buyer beware They really don't have a good rep...Mark

Most of the common parts I found were really expensive, are all
of these OEM or they reproductions?

But at least we know all of the parts are out there for a price

I stopped by a dealer on my way home from work today and asked for arm rests. The passenger side is discontinued and there are 8 driver side arm rests at a dealer in Texas (Dallas or Houston, I can't recall exactly). Minus 1 they're sending my way .

From what the parts guy tells, since Fiat took over Chrysler, they've been trying to find all kinds of places to reproduce these hard to find, high demand parts for older vehicles. Hopefully they reproduce all the right ones!

I think it was around $63. My commercial account brought it down to $48.

Had to edit my first post. The dealer in Texas has driver side arm rests which is what I needed.
