1969 F85 A Pillar question

Hey guys I posted an add in the wanted section for a set of A pillars for my 69 F85 post car. The A pillars were missing when I bought the car so I had no idea what was supposed to be there. After some research the pillars are supposed to be Padded, not metal. A gentleman on here has a padded set from a 68 That look correct, but I am not sure. My question is this... Can someone tell me if 68-69 were the same? I know 70 and up are metal and completely different. I will include a picture below of the ones from the 68. Hopefully someone can tell me if they aren't or are corrext for my 69. Thanks in advance!

little hard to tell from that pic, but those look correct as I just checked my 69 F-85, which are padded. I have a rough pair somewhere from a 69 S post, they are also padded.
These are post coupe specific, so F-85, Cutlass S post or 442 post.

apparently the pillars to the 69 F85 are specific to that car and that car only. i was able to get my hands on some very good detailed photos from a friends f85 A pillars and closely matched them to a set from a 68 post car pillar and they look damn near identical aside from the top where it meets the roof line, its different there. If anyone has a set, please contact me. Thanks!
