I D numbers Books ???

One of my books

Cars & Parts magazine
Oldsmobile
442.W-Machines
& Hurst Olds
ID Numbers
1964-91

I believe incorrectly list,
1969 vinyl top
color
White=A
Black=2 [I thought it was B]

Can anyone tell me of a better book for ID ing Vins, Body plates, Paint, options, etc.

While you're at it, what is the difference between a regular frame and a F-35 [heavy duty frame ]?

I've found the "Oldsmobile 4-4-2 and W-Machines Restoration Guide" by T. Patrick Sullivan has a lot of I.D. info and pics if you don't have it already. It covers '64-'72 so it comes in handy, not a lot on actual restoration but the codes and charts are factory or from dealer literature and the author explains a lot of other things.
The factory paint chart in the book shows a black vinyl top as color code 2, there isn't a white but there is Antique Parchment with code 5.
