was wondering if someone might be able to help a noob out. I just picked up my 70 chevelle, which is a bigger project than I had originally thought, but was wanting to know some history on the car. From what i've heard, the build sheet is usually on top of the gas tank, but i highly doubt mine will be there...she's kinda rough, any help is greatly appreciated. the vin is as follows: 136370k222185

thanks again guys :thumbsup:

Joe,
From what I have read on here the KC plant put the build sheet or a broadcast sheet on the inside of the front fenders. I have read where some have found them under the back seat or under the carpet. The build sheet was never intended to be put in the car, they were to be throw away. I only know of the Van Nuys plant putting the build sheet on top of the gas tank. I'm no expert on this subject, so I'm sure others will chim in. Also check out Dale's site chevellestuff.com

Rays right about the build sheets not being intended to go with the cars. It seems that it was easier to stick it somewhere on the car than in the trash. Your best bet is to look everywhere they have been found. Front fender between inner and outer, in the springs of the back seat (usually the bottom but I have heard of 1 ir 2 being in the back section), stuck to the inside of a door panel, Up in the springs of the front seat, under the carpet (pass. side toward the trans tunnel (I found mine there)), On top of the gas tank.

Good luck with your search but remember, Some cars never had them left in.

It was common to find build sheet taped or glued to the front fenders. That's because there were painted in a different area of the plant then the body was and then conveyed to the final assembly line to meet up with the car after the body and chassis were married. They placed them on the inside of the fender for obvious reasons (to not damage paint finish) and ID the parts so the people staging the fenders to the conveyor line could place them in proper sequence. There was not reason for them to remove them because once the skirt was installed and fender was hung no one could see it anymore.


Take a flashlight and peek into the door jamb and see if you see any paper in there.
