I found the build sheet from the janesville Wis plant for my dads 72 truck that he bought new. I think this is kind of a rare find. It has the packet you get with warranty card,Owners manual, and sales sheet he payed $3805.00 for it LOL!!. Date of sale 4/6/72 kind of cool i thought and wanted to share with you all.

Do you still have the truck or can you find it? It was kinda rare for a truck owner to hold onto that stuff, muscle cars as well cause back in the day these were just cars and trucks with no BJ (Barrett Jackson) value. So to find a vehicle with all its documents is kinda rare, what options did/does it have?

I steal have the truck im putting it on a 4x4 frame and going to make it my daily driver out of it.

O and it has like 80.000 miles on it and the origanal 350 runs real strong. Its a C/20 with a 4 gear but its just an old farm truck not many options. P10 spair tire rack- Z53 gauges- heavy duty springs. just to name a fue.

The build sheet was just stuck in the owners manual. it funny to think that after all them years that it was all in the glove box still in it little plastic packet with a ton of tools and farm parts pilled on top LOL!!! I learnt how to drive in this truck when i was 9 years old and how to do doughnuts when dad wasnt looking.

Ill get some pictures for ya soon as i can.

My build sheet was stuck in my seat springs, i think.. Maybe that was my buddies dart.. But, I have my window sticker, bill of sale and build sheet to my 72. I think that's pretty cool to have. I think mine was $4200. Seems like a LOT of $ for back then.
