I do have a couple questions about the truck that I can not seem to find any answers.

1. Was the top of the dash painted to match the dash pad color?

2. What kind of upholstery was SPID code 660?
The forward dash (and vents) were painted a flat color called Dark Sandelwood. The Ditzler color code for this 23375. It is a flattened version of the steering column paint Ditzler 23374. Since it is often hard to get trim code paints you might need to color match the unfaded portion of the column. This would provide both gloss for the column and a 0% gloss flattened for the upper forward dash.

The upholstery I covered in another thread for you.

Carpet was included in 72 Suburbans when optioned with the A52 Custom Deluxe vinyl trim (parchment only# upgrade or the Highlander Plaid trim upgrade. The section#s) carpeted depended on how many seats were ordered.

Since you need custom made seat covers to be correct and a correct color full mat, to my knowledege, isn't reproduced you might consider going to the all vinyl covers to more correctly match the intended carpet.
