Build sheet could be most anywhere, under a seat cushion between the springs and the foam on earlier cars, behind a kick panel below the dash, behind a door panel or back side panel on two doors, in a body void in the interior almost anywhere. You would have to almost completely disassemble the interior to search for one and then you may not find it. Post VIN and body tag numbers and we will try to help.

Hello, if you can't find the build sheet you can do what I did, today. We have a '71 Cutlass S, '71 Cutlass Supreme, & '68 442 and I needed some information on them. So, I got on the oldsmobile site and got the number to the customer service center, which is 1-800-442-6537. You give them your vin number and they can tell you about your car. Also, on some models they can send you a restoration kit. Hope this helps ya.
