[INTERIOR] 76 Dark Brown/Buckskin Interior
A question similiar to this was posted before, but I couldn't find a solid answer.
My 76 has an interior code of, I think 37L.
I believe that is buckskin, but the dash pad, carpet, and steering wheel are all of a darker brown.
I've seen some examples of buckskin interiors where the dash pad, carpet and steering wheel are all buckskin.
My question is when ordering interior trim pieces do I need to specify buckskin for the iterior panels but for the carpet, and dash pad dark brown?
Thanks in advance.

37 is the exterior paint code for Mahogany. The L means the lower portion of the car was painted this color, but the L code isn't applicable to '76s.
64V is the interior code for buckskin vinyl; 642 for Buckskin leather.

I recovered the dash pad that was dark brown, with a buckskin covering. My steering wheel is still dark brown but I've done the rest. Seats were redone with BMW Champagne Leather by a local shop and the interior components ordered from Corvette Central.
First step: reflectix under the new carpet
Even over the differential and rear deck
Rear Speakers against back wall in the far reaches:
Final Left Side View (ignore crooked console piece I missed before shot):

Gotta Love it!
Nice ride:

Yes, sorry about that, I knew I had seen 37 somewhere. I'll take a look at my trim tag when I get a chance.
My question then, would be, are all Buckskin Leather interiors setup as I described above, with the brown steering wheel, dash pad and carpet?
If so, that would make the ordering easier, but if not, my original question still stands.
Thanks again

not sure about '76 but a related item..
my '75 has medium saddle interior but the dash cover is brown (about like steering wheel in SD Paul's pics) and is the original one. In the AIM it lists interior color/top/etc combinations and codes and shows that some interiors have different dash colors. Guess GM didn't feel like color matching the whole interior.
I recommend you buy the AIM for your car. It is VERY helpful.
