[PUZZLE][SOLVED] Pudding Code

On 2/17, Matt posted a new code from his grandfather's papers. On the front is a recipe for Fig Pudding and Steamed Chocolate Pudding. On the back is a block of typewritten code. Here is the transcription:

Code:

0
1
3
5
1 & 8

PF0JC5IUR44RX0F2066RC5I4P0CI30J47RCRX0T90XA0CT06R4G

C720GUUR5PDRXGJCP70IGYRP7RPFSVYGC2P70PTJG0JYJPU5SRJ

IP4T4PS3TX6D0J4I65UTPS3T7SWUGPFD62DPG463JGF46H709PT

4W2GW6P2IDTI40XXTG0FWTP4WTIR0JC34GW10FD3GWTSWWCPCM0

3ZFUG0J2FYFS2FCGSP3DR67RPCY3607FRJ2P02FYJ63U4YPI64J


Note: my transcription assumes that everything that looks like "0" is a zero.

Some random observations:
The digits in the code include only one instance of the number 1 and no 8s
There are no Bs or Es or Ks or Ls or Ns or Qs (or Os).

In the recipe, the words molases, choped, sauer, and squar are misspelled.

Comparing this code to the one degravity solved here, I realized the first line uses the same substitution. The second line does not. I think that's where the numbers 0, 1, 3, 5, 1 & 8 come in. The first line was 0 so no need to change the substitution, but the next line uses 1 and so forth. Still working on it, but here is the first line....

I'm double posting so this will show up as a new post. Thanks to Dante and Dashcat, we finally solved the 3rd line of the "Pudding Code". Still not sure how the number 0, 1, 3, 5, 1 & 8 figure into it though.

A program to dump toxic waste chemicals at off shore sites around the world. He's been involved in these chemical programs longer than he's told us about.
