1965 paint and trim code help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

E911manager · 07-17-2012, 11:17 PM

I just bought a truck and the paint code is 526aa and the trim is Rpo z62ae

I think 526 is white but no clue what the trim is.

Any help on either code would be great.

The truck is a big back glass and has the chrome cab corners, chrome bumper, two toned seat, nicer glove box. There isn't any side trim.

So it looks like I have a solid ivory white Custom comfort optioned truck.

Does anyone know what the "AA" means at the end of the paint code?

If it's a factory white '65 with Custom Comfort option, I think the seat should be the uncommon red seat. I've been trying to figure this one out, as this is how the factory literature reads.

Yes it has a red lower and upper with a cloth (weaved) middle of the back. The vinyl is still all together and not warn much but the cloth is torn loose on the drivers side but it is all there. It also has the red armrest that is in decent shape. I'll shot some pics this weekend.

Now I'm confused here is mine off my 65
RPO 762AE Trim
RPO 521DA Paint
So 521 is white.... What's the rest?

**aerotruk63** · 01-02-2014, 08:09 PM

Pure White so hubcaps & Bumpers are Pure White like the body instead of the Off White with every other color

Z62 Trim
Custom Comfort and Convenience.
Foam Seat with Nylon Trim
Lighter
Arm Rest
Door Lock ( passenger side door lock )
Sunshade ( sunvisor passenger side )

So what would your best guess be for the color of my grandpa's 63......Brigade Blue or Blue Poly or other?

Picture was taken middle 70s I think.
