In '72 the door panels switched to an all-plastic lower that included the pockets.
Thanks Chris, glad you knew this. You've always been a big help to me. That would make sense for when I have saw those armrest and always thought they were being erroneously listed as being correct for 71's. Truth was they were correct for later built 71 models. What date would everyone here agree that Pontiac started using them? My car is 09A your car is 04A. When was the start of the '72 builds. Do they overlap with late '71's?

Thanks Mr. Giles for the education.

Eddie
