Default 68 MPC dash pad look up for me?

Can anyone with a 68 MPC look up part numbers/ descriptions for a GTO dash pad? I'm wondering how they specify the colors .. by trim code, separate part number for each color, actual color name?

I'm specifically interested in the dash pad used on 221 code GTO/Lemans with AC.

Thank You.

Most excellent, thank you very much.

So, "gold" it had to be ... even though they are pretty much green as an olive. Nothing else is close. One more clue.

Is the 71 MPC being reprinted by anyone? I've got the 75 catalog in digital form, but it's not an MPC as far as I know and is quite incomplete when it comes to 68's.

Scott is correct. There are notations at the end of the section providing VINs at each plant when the non-A/C pads changed design.

Data, my 71 MPC is for sections 10-15 and is a reprint. Two books, illustrated dated Sept '70 and text dated July 71. I bought it off ebay from Faxon Auto Literature IIRC.

(Again, highlights are for my personal use)

I notice the "Gold" pads don't have the asterisk for the grain change. I guess I can count myself lucky for that
