Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
The factory build sheets were provided on the back of the glove box door, as well as, between the seat springs behind the driver. I have a '66 Chevy K10 with the original build sheet on the glove box door and in the seat springs...still in amazingly good condition.
This information was also provided with the Protecto Plate and owner's literature, but both of these were actually attached to the vehicle, when new, so rather uncommon to still be in good, legible condition. |

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
Nice !!!
I found my build sheet behind the seat springs (wasn't a long one ) when I pulled the seat out...Turns out my truck was built in Fremont, CA......Which is only 15 min from where I live !! The plant is still there...but it's called "NUMMI" when Toyota came into the picture years ago. My truck has been a "CALI" truck all its life !!

That is to cool.... the only thing I found behind my seat was $.50 and a pack of smokes.

Does the "panoramic cab" mean big window?

Would you know where one on a 62 would be? The Glove box was dry rotted and had a bird nest in it once...... so we had to replace it. The seat was bad as well, so we replaces the foam and cover too. Thanks,

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
I have the one from my glove box. I just took the seat out and am going to look there. The one from the glove box is certainly not in pristine shape. The bottom portion of my seat has had the vinyl replaced once, so I'm not sure it would be there. The back is unmolested. Which of those two areas is it usually located in?

Same locations for the '60-'66. I am not sure about other years.

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
It was installed between the seat springs and the burlap on the back of the driver side seat back. It will be visible from the back, if it is there, so you don't have to dismantle anything.

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
our seat is covered on the back, so it must have been recovered at some point......

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
I found the one in the seat springs but nothing on the glovebox door.
Haven't looked at it in quite awhile.

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
Locating one in the seat springs is rare find because the paper dries out and becomes brittle, then it breaks away and goes bye-bye, so good for you if you found yours. I would try to save it by removing it and having it preserved. They are rare indeed still intact.

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?

Here are a few I found that restore old plates: www.tagdr.com www.darrylsplates.com www.mojoartworks.com www.oldlicensefarm.com I hope this provides you some options for your plate restoration project, if you need it. After posting this, I realized I provided restoration services for license plates, not build sheets, but here is a "near-factory" build sheet blank, that can be filled in to meet the specifications of you particular truck. I found mine on eBay, but I was unable to find a link to another one, but they will come up again on eBay, so be on the lookout. Last edited by LILRED66; 01-22-2009 at 10:33 PM. |

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
Mine came in a manilla folder along with a stack of receipts dating to '76, when the PO bought the truck from the State of California.

Excellent resource. Thanks for sharing. I have e-mailed Jeff to see if he can do SPID labels for the '60-'66 Chevy trucks. Thanks again for sharing. |

Re: Have you ever seen the original build sheets...both of them?
SPID's (service parts indentification decal ) were never installed inside the glove box door on 1960 thru 1965 Chevy pickups. This decal was first used in 1966 on Chevy pickups. GMC started using them in 1967.
