I've had my car in about as many pieces as can be taken apart over the years and never found any sort of paperwork. Only part that to date that has not been removed is the headliner due to its near perfect condition and will stay that way. Reading on Facebook yesterday a brother Riv owner said he found the "body shop" check list in a little pocket behind the L kick panel. Had to go look and sure enough there it was. Turns out my car was made yesterday, 1968. Pretty cool. Also learned I had a reclining passenger bucket seat. I saw the lever but was thinking it was another release for the seat back to come fwd for access to the rear. Dumb n hindsight!
That is a "Body Shop Inspection Sheet", which was used by Fisher Body to build the shell. That is also sheet 1 of 2, so there was another sheet used to finish off the options. Your car must have been loaded. Duane
The back side is printed with all the options. It was tri folded, stapled and rolled then stuffed down into the cubby.
My 69 Riv is coming home from paint tomorrow. I never found any tucked away build sheets in the usual places when the car was disassembled. First thing I’m doing is looking in this cubby hole. Lol
The Options are always printed on the back. There are spaces there where you can jot down notes behind each option. If there was a problem with something, the notes were added, and then the inspector would stamp his initials in that area to "buy it out". If you flip the sheet over you can see what areas were "stamped" by the inspector. There would still have been another sheet created with the balance of the Options your car came with. They would be printed on the front in "@" symbols like the first sheet. Duane PS. I have never seen a second sheet in a car.
No, The Broadcast sheets are the Large (GMAD) "Chevy Style" sheets you find for vehicles built in the General Motors Assembly Division plants. Buick ran the Flint plant, like Olds ran the Lansing plant, therefore they did not use that type of sheet, but created their own. It was all a matter of jurisdiction. The GMAD sheets have like a 100 plus boxes on the main body of the sheet, with the UPC codes for options at the bottom. If a car has the type of sheet as pictured earlier in this thread, then it should be a Flint produced vehicle, as from everything I have read/seen, those sheets were only used at Flint. Duane PS. This is a true Build Sheet. It is what was used by Fisher Body to build the shell before it was shipped over to Final Assembly. There would have been others as well, listing how the chassis was assembled, etc. You just didn't find one of them, and frankly they almost never made it into the cars. I have only seen a handful, and I mean handful of them in all the years I have been doing this.
Check the back side of the body sheet. There may be more information on the back. I saw a 70 GSX body shop sheet that way.
