cowl tag reads

ST 13637A46395 BDY
TR 745800 B30 50 A CNT
35002541063C ST 13637 ~ same as above
A ~ same
46395 BDY ~ Fisher Body unit number
TR 745800 B30 ~ I've never seen anything like this on an Arlington tag. All samples I have only have the TR and three numbers such as TR 756. There is no trim code for 745 that I know of for 1970. There is one year (1966) that used a 745 code for red interior. Sure it's not "755?" That would be a black bench seat which would be an optional color for the Gobi Beige. Suspect the 800 is B80 (common code from Atlanta for Roof Drip Moulding). Next sequence is usually B90 (no B30 option code I'm aware of) and is for Door Window Frame Moulding.
50 A PNT (not CNT) ~ lower and upper body paint with 50 being Gobi Beige and the letter A denoting a white vinyl top.
35002541063C ~ Is this the sequence from left to right? All examples I have show a 3-character sequence first which is the month/week of assembly such as 03C for March, 3rd week. This is followed by two series of 6 numbers and they're data processing sequence numbers and are of little value unless you have a build sheet to match the numbers.

Look again at the tag and post it in the exact sequence.
