    Can anyone decode the accessory codes on a 1964 impala cowl tag?

    Next to "ACC" I have: "3C,5Z"

    Also, after "TRIM" I have "859" (Saddle Vinyl), but I also have "T-10"?

    Thanks,
    Jay
     
  2. Well, I got out my Chevrolet by the Numbers, 60-64, but he doesn't list the codes, cuz he's afraid people will make "bogus" cars.:mad:

    Shoot it over to chevytalk and they should be able to help.

    I decoded the trim codes there. But he doesn't have the ACC codes.

    Someone on chevytalk said "3C" is for padded dash which it has. Still need "5Z". Maybe posi rearend?

    Here's a kicker: The VIN says it's a 63, which it isn't.
     
  6. Year One used to have the decoder in their thick catalogs. I can't find my old one (I probably chunked it). Someone who has one should be able to completely break down your tag from that catalog.

    3C means Padded dash...
    5Z means Shoulder Seat Belts....
    I´m not sure about T-10 but I'll think it is about color on a convertible top ?
    Still wondering what 12C in top means...? Can it be Month 12 and week 3 ?
