Correct: "SPID" label, or service label is located in the glove box.
"Build sheet" is an actual build document, used to aid the workers as the vehicle went down the line.
There was no requirement to place the build sheet in the vehicle, but usually it got left there because it was easier than throwing it in the trash. That's why they can be found in such different places, varying from plant to plant, day to day, shift to shift and worker to worker - or why some vehicles can have two or three (including wrong ones), some vehicles have none.
Here is one from a Pontiac GTO, found above the gas tank:
We also had something called a "build manifest", which was like a bunch of the build sheets printed together on that old "tractor paper" (with the little holes on the side). This was something they gave to certain workers, so they knew what option content was coming ahead of time, usually passed out for one day (two shifts) worth of vehicles. Those got thrown in the trash as well when we were done with them.
