which is correct for rear seat arm rest short or long?

Pics of Chevy armrests w/measurements--I think that the SS models all came with the Deluxe interior in 68. If I have time later I'll check on that. Some cars came with the Buick interior due to a supplier's strike, they have a -178 code on the trim tag. Note the length of the front armrest backing plate--68's are longer than the other years.

I beleive ARK68SS is correct. I just looked at a picture of a 68 SS door panel, the front of the armrest starts about where the SS396 door badge begins. That could be a good reference of help, the pictures that ARK posted coincide with that.
