    Mine has paint code 175 and trim 163. Didn't see the codes listed. Where can I find out what they mean?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I looked on the site and found an info page for vin numbers and paint/trim codes. Didn't see either of my codes there.

    The front seat is a split bench. Passenger side section is shorter. I assume it is that way for tool box. Seats had been recovered before I bought it. Was just trying to find out the original seat color/style.

    Your trim code 163 comes up as Peacock Blue, with an alternate code of N-34. Your bench seat is referred to as a "1/3-2/3" style which was optional.
