Re: build sheets
What are the odds of finding a build sheet in the seat in a 1984 SWB Stepside??
Also can a buildsheet or list be dug up by having the VIN? |

Obviously it can happen, but the odds are against it per on my earlier post #6. Depends on the plant, the shift and the individual operator. No. Not the buildsheet itself. The buildsheet was a build document, for use during the assembly process, and not a document that was saved. You can use your VIN to pull up RPO content (that is, the information contained on the build sheet but not a facsimile of the build sheet in appearance). Here's a link to a comprehensive VIN decoder (it is not populated for all VINs, so yours may not show up; mine didn't): http://www.compnine.com/vid.php?vin=2GCEK19K8R1177262 and I also have an internal GM web database for more modern vehicles. Another exception would be if your truck was built or sold in Canada. GM of Canada has a service where they can pull your build information and RPO content and (I believe) where you can get a reproduction window sticker made. K

Re: build sheets
For what it's worth, the build sheet on my '66 C10, and '79 C10 Big 10 were under the seat. Both trucks were built at the San Jose plant.
