Pretty cool when you find one of these!

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 01-27-2016, 10:24 PM

Is that called an option sheet or something like? Where does that sit, behind the seat? I haven't pulled my seat yet, but will be a good day when I do.

My truck was built in Fremont as well.

Build Sheet - usually found between the lower seat springs and the burlap. Not always though. VINs matter - I was excited to find 2 build sheets under my 71 C20 seat only to find on closer inspection that neither was for my truck! Had to laugh.

Ah yes, build sheet. Thank you....................

What are the odds of that?

Hello to Chester. As soon as the weather gets better I plan on heading up the hill. Hope we meet some time-be looking for a '72 hugger orange long bed.....

Let me know when you're headed this way! I'd like to see your Suburban!

I could tell you a few stories about Chester. Mostly good, some bad, one very painful..........Whoops!......Trust me, I now know how to remove weight distribution bars. The luckiest RV site I've ever found was an accident. That was off Peninsula Drive, in Westwood. $25 a night in a little hole in the wall. Bath/shower nearly to ourselves, power.......There were two-three cabins, maybe six RV sites and a house on either side, and we made friends of one of them.....Grass, doc, beach, fishing and boating, football..........120' the other side of the water is an RV park. The RVs are on pavement and stacked on top of one another. I hear they pay 3k for the season and it's booked.

We hit it 3-4 occasions, but the spot is gone. I heard they built condos instead, but that was during the crash so not certain.

Pretty much 1 to 1 odds. Every vehicle "should" have one. Some have been removed. It's the "sheet" the trucks was "built" off of

Skinny Kid · 02-03-2016, 11:42 AM

I found two of those in my truck. It's a great feeling when you see it, especially when you weren't even looking for one...

**michael bustamante** · 02-03-2016, 01:26 PM

i found three in my 67, 1 taped behind the cardboard gas tank cover and 2 in the seat. 1 was for a fully optioned 67 i wish i could have had and the 2 were correct for my truck. i actually framed one of them! it also says my truck was sold to a dealer in TACOS NM!!
supposed to be taos. HAHAHAHAHA

I prefer Tacos

El Dorado Jim · 02-03-2016, 05:04 PM

It is sooo cool to find the build sheet, I found mine, I would think they are rare to find anymore,since most people remove them when they find them...love the Tacos/Taos mistake!

Vintage Windmills · 02-03-2016, 10:11 PM

I have never found one in a Janesville built truck. Odds seem to be the best with the Fremont trucks.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 02-04-2016, 12:08 AM

Other than a chuck key in my duct system, I've found a small sticker behind the dash. I don't have it handy, but I'm guessing it's for steering. It was for GM and other makes as well. Cannot wait to pull my seat and gas tank. And look forward to revisiting my jack components, including one of these:
