Body code decode

I've decoded most of the vin plate on a truck I'm looking at buying. I can't figure out the body code. I wrote down 543. So the '3' means that it was a flareside, I think. I can't figure out the 54 part.
Any insight out there?

Would probably need the year to get help help.

Not sure about 543, because First one or two digits (w/space for 1 digit) are INT TRIM and digit is the Type of CAB.

However, I could not find any 54 Codes for the interior trim colors. (Nor 5A)

Good point, dwildey. It's a 1970 (as confirmed from the vin).
I looked for S4, 54; never thought about the 4 being an A. I'll try that.
Thanks!
