Dumb question. On a LM, Crome seat trim outside or inside? Seat adjuster lever outside or inside?

The chrome trim and the adjuster both go to the outside.

But the chrome trim looks good when it is on both sides of the seat. You you the left on the right inboard and vice versa. Mounts up the same way since seat backs are the same.

I did it on my 66 Coupe with an original Bronze interior.

I have a pair of "64 Monza seats that had both the inner and outer seat trim chromed. My '65 Corsa has only the outer ones done.

California Corvair sells vairy nice rechromed and polished seat trim sets.

Outer


[californiacorvairparts.com]

Inner

[californiacorvairparts.com]

Hard part is having the plastic socks for the inner hinge in good shape.

I have decent used ones in black and they are reproduced for A-Bodies.

It looks better using the outboard trim on inboard sides. Looks incomplete, if it doesn't go all the way down to the hinge point. I will get a photo of mine and post it later today or tomorrow.

The '67-9 Astro buckets have only the lower plastic covers Phil shows in his picture #2. They are notorious for sunburning to dust and are available molded only in black.

I don't know which I hate worse, pitted chrome, rusted painted metal, or crumbly molded-in-color plastic. They all have surface issues, and look horrid if the coating gets scrapped (painted-over plastic) or pitted (metal) by rust corrosion. Chrome shows up imperfections like crazy while paint is a coating and all coatings can be scrapped down to the base material.

Guess I don't need to post my photo of the full length seat trim on the inboard sides.

But all trim looks tacky after decades of use (abuse and lack of care). Get an old truck and don't worry about the looks.
