Default Interior trim code help

First of all... what a tool for a corvette owner! This forum is awsome. Now for my questions. I have a 72 coupe that I have owned for 23 years(Wish this forum was around 20 years ago!). I plan on replacing the entire interior. I'm really looking at Willcox as the chosen supplier - especially since it appears they are supporters of this forum.
Any feedback on quality, fit, etc would be appreciated. Also, my interior trim code is 417 which I believe is saddle(car currently has black int). Is there more than 1 saddle for 72? If so, does anyone know which saddle is code 417?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Thanks for the info. I just noticed in several of my interior catalogs that they list a few different saddle colors for 1972, like light saddle, dark saddle, etc. There isn't just one "saddle". Am I missing something here? How do I know which saddle to order?

There was one saddle color available for the '72 Vette, one in leather and one in vinyl as indicated above. .

As Jud posted, check-out Al Knock. Not the cheapest, but, I really think the best.

Anyone have feedback on Willcox? Hard to pass up their forum specials, but not at the expense of fit/quality.

These are not '72 interior colors so be careful.

This info agrees to that listed in the "Corvette Black Book".
