Build sheets. Where did Olds stick them in '73?

Well, yesterday was a 21 hour day that started at 0230, but I drove from IL to PA and back and made it home safely with my plain jane '73 Cutlass Supreme. It was an interesting trip to say the least. I've got alot of work to do before I hit car shows this summer. No major stuff, just alot of small stuff that comes with a car that wasn't driven that much to begin with and that has sat for the past 15 years. I want to start by finding and preserving the build sheet for the car, but I don't know where they are on Oldsmobiles. I figured one of you could help me out. On every 2nd generation Camaro I've had they were stuck between the seat cushion and seat springs on the upper half of the back seat. Where can I start to look on my '73 for it?

Where was it built? It seems some plants were better at dropping them in than not, at least for the earlier generations.

Build sheets for Lansing built cars are just about non-existent. Plant instructions there were to pitch them at the end of the line. You may still find Body broadcast cards in the seats.
Build sheet are typically found in seats, under carpets, on top of gas tanks. Less often under the dash, in the headliner, door panels.

The build sheet from my 73 was in the springs on the back seat bottom, IIRC Framingham plant.
