These arm rests came from my 68 T&C. Split bench seat came with optional passenger recliner and head rest as well as these dual armrests. These are a metallic tan in color and have a very small amount of threads coming out in back where the stitching ends. I'm assuming the wood is factory but your guess is as good as mine. Cushions still soft and handles fully attached. Overall, very nice with correct attachment nuts and plates. Asking $80 for the pair. PM with any questions. Located in the Topeka KS area.

Those look a bunch like arm rests in the ‘67 split bench Imperial seats I put in my Fury. Cool how they recycle this stuff year to year...

Mine were metal & wood too.
 
Looks like yours has the passenger recliner too. And dual power, why expect anything less from the top of the line. The reason I wondered about the wood was my wagon is very original and when I pulled the seats, the passenger side had 2 wooden blocks being used as spacers for the front 2 seat tracks. I thought someone broke the plastic ones and improvised but now I'm wondering if that was a fix at the factory. Funny!
 
These armrests were used for many years including on the 70 - 73 Fury Brougham interior bench seat option.

FYI, for several years the MOPAR Part used to increase the seat height was a small square wood section of plywood with a "U" shaped grove that went over the seat frame stud. Just loosen the nut underneath and these wood pieces were slid between the seat frame and the carpet.

I bought a set of these in an NOS package many years ago just because I couldn't believe that this was the part that Chrysler designed for cars that did not have adjustable height seat brackets like I have seen on '66 300's. Wish I knew where I had these stored so I could post a photo.
 
OK, well I'm having a laugh about that. The driver side is power which I believe has height adjustment as it moves forward and back. The wood was actually in place of the black plastic spacers used for bucket seat tracks. It looked so well done but I thought no way are they using wood from the factory! Loosened the retainers and tossed em'. That's funny.
