Correct Armrest for 68 GM 1500

Hi folks. New to the site. Picked up this little beauty out of North Carolina this year and slowly doing some work to it.
I was wondering if you could help me identify the right armrest for a 68? Were they same in 67-72 or different for one or a group of years?

Thanks

Nice looking truck. Arm rests are the same for 68-71.

Re: Correct Armrest for 68 GM 1500

The handles in MDPotter's photo look just like the 67 Custom Armrests that I just bought. I thought they got taller than that in 68?

Some of the early 68 models still have that style armrest.
