Suburban build sheets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SidsChopShop · 01-07-2022, 05:55 PM

There have been many people who have found their build sheets on their 67-72 but most if not all have been trucks so this struck my curiosity.

Here is my all original 2 owner ‘69. I have looked under the front seat and up the rear seat cover and under the vinyl floor the best of my ability. Besides some trim screws and some body washers I have had no luck finding it the sheet. So the question is have any of you been lucky enough to find your suburban build sheet? If you have post it up along with a good place to search! Happy hunting!

Were all Suburban's built at the same plant?

I've taken the entire interior out of mine...and even had all three seats reupholstered with no signs of a build sheet (I'm the second owner too). I have to say Sid...that is one gorgeous Suburban you have there!

You guys have me wanting to go to where my Burbs stored and do a little sleuthing. Its all original (not saying its beautiful lol) never been tampered with on the inside.

I have not found any in mine either. That is a beautiful Suburban. Not trying to get off subject but can anyone tell me what those type of mirrors are called?

Those mounts with small round mirrors were the standard mirrors unless the SPID calls out something different. The rectangular mirrors pictured are aftermarket as far as I know.

Yes the stock were round. These rectangle mirrors were installed for a small increase in visibility since we do drive it often and for long distances at a time.

Thanks for the replies on the mirror. The base looked familiar but I had not seen them with the rectangular mirrors.they look good like that.

I run with mine sideways for more visibility during the daily battle through Portland traffic.

Hijacking completed!

My 1970 Suburban which I got from original owner was built in Fremont. Still had original front bench seat and seat cover. Build sheet was nestled between either the backrest foam and the seat frame or between the cover itself and the back rest frame.

My original seat was in the rafters so I just checked and no luck there for me

PortHeadlight thanks for the reply. Mine is a Flint truck, but I will take a second look at the back cover of the front seat.
