525 is Saddle, the Lucite/Dupont and Ditzler/PPG info is on the right.

Where did you get the trim code number from one of your build sheets ?

Behind or under the bench seat in between foam and springs or when you open the glove box it should be on the inside of the lid.

EDIT: heres a thread that talks about that topic

If it is 525 it is saddle poly. Mine was that color originally. It is almost a gold color with some tiny metal flake in it.

Just ran out to see what the paint code was on the 'burb. Ah, just a 521. I was hoping it would be some cool color combo....Thanx for posting that list, Barebones.

No problem man...

Hey guys if you get the chance all the information im getting for this thread and others like it is out of this parts catalog book that came with my truck. VERY useful information in here. If you ever find one buy it, you won't regret it. This things is very interesting, I can't open it up without learning something new everytime.

My wife put mine in a three ring binder for me and printed out "66 Chevy" down the side of it. I dig the way she's supporting me in this.

I think there is a company online that sells those for about $20
