Build sheet ?
 
Did Blazers assembled in California have build sheets and if so where?

The build sheets weren't intended to be placed anywhere so it's random chance if you do.

They were supposed to be gathered up and thrown away at the end of the line like all the rest of the trash (coffee cups, extra screws, inspection tickets, etc). But if they were buried it was easier to just leave them where they lay and build the rest of the vehicle up around them.

You are lucky if you find one. I've only found one in all of my (three or four) collector vehicles.

There would have been several sheets used per vehicle: one for each sub assembly area that fed into the main line, so one for motor line, one for chassis line, axle line, one for body shop, one for soft trim, one for hard trim.

As such - any place that supports those operations would be fertile ground. In the seat, under the carpet or floor trim, behind a headliner or A pillar trim, under the instrument panel top pad, behind door trim panels, on top of the fuel tank, stuck in a frame rail, inside a fender, etc.

I don’t think that Blazers were assembled in California. I believe they were only assembled in Flint and St Louis.
