    Guys, I have a question about the location of the vinyl top option on the order sheet. I have Sloan documents on a 70 GS that has the "J" codes on both lower body and roof accent colors, and a dash through "convertible or custom top" sections of the order form. The car does not currently have a vinyl roof, but am I correct in interpreting this order form to mean that the car never had one? I am under the impression that the car was a Burnished Saddle , vinyl top delete car. Am I correct here? Thanks, Rudy E

    Rudy,
    All that is stating is that your has upper and lower body have matching paint.In this case the J J means Burnished Saddle top and lower.On my 73 they use P P or Burnt Coral.That is also why the top has a crossed out box denoting lack of vinyl top.For instance,if your car was Burnished Saddle and a black vinyl top,the code would be J in the lower color and B in the custom top.You are correct.

    What are the paint codes on the firewall trim tag? if no vinyl top it should say 68 68

    Yeah Gary right....From what I have seen from sloan,they use the letters and not the numbers like whats on the cowl tag.

    The Sloan documents do use the letters, not the numbers. I do not have access to the car, but will check the tag if I revisit. It does have at least one "68" on the tag, as I remember it, but I do not have a copy of it. Thanks, Rudy E
