Build sheet for '85-'87 442?
Anyone have a manifest (build) sheet out of an '85 through '87 442? I'm starting to research the G-bodies for build code id. nos. and letters. Since there are no assembly manuals available for these cars, I think that these manifest sheets will be the only source for the codes, unless someone has some really low mileage examples with their tags and stickers still intact.

As an added bonus for codes and such, here's a decal that was attached to the 84-88 V8 catalytic converter cheese grating heat guard that's wrapped around the cat (you can see the indentation marks on the scanned copy below). There's another coded decal under the shielding as well, but haven't looked at that in a while.

Great stuff 69HO43! That manifest sheet will be a great resource.
If anyone else has a manifest sheet from an '85-'87 442, please share it with us.
Anyone have an Olds Inspector's Guide from '84-'87?

I'm attempting to establish component manifest id. codes for these years for the'84 Hurst/Olds and '85-'87 442 option.
I am working on publishing a new illustrated identification guide for the 442, W-Machines, and Hurst/Olds offerings from the years 1964 through 1987. 1976 through 1987 are rather difficult years to locate information relating to factory stamps, castings, stickers and assembly codes. The two best sources for this info are, build manifest sheets and inspector's guides. I'm going to need a lot of help from the hobby to complete this book. Any assistance you could offer would be most appreciated, not only by me, but also by all enthusiasts who may have an interest in learning this sort of information about these special cars.

All of those years. I Have guides through 1983, but have not yet located any of the later guides.

You can also enter your VIN for almost all models from 1980 - early 2010 and it will tell you all RPO codes it came with and in most cases tell you how common or rare it is. Enjoy

Yes they admit they do not have all but they have a ton on info and schematics as well. I typed in the 2001 Tahoe grocery getter's VIN and it came back one of four optioned as mine. Pretty neat, which VIN did you try? Looks like you can enter your Delta 88 and both Supremes.
