When I bought my 70 I called the dealership. They sent me the build sheet. That was 1984 but I did get it. Lansing built car.

whats a build sheet in the first place?

in that old thread there was confusion about what a build sheet actual looks like…maybe clear that up first

and no, I’m not going to use the search function to find out…everyone knows why

Well, it's not a 4" X 8" IBM trim card, I'll tell you that much. I got two of those with my Lansing car.

Yeah, I was blown away with the shape it was in when I dropped the tank!

Eric Jenson may have found one. The A and B copy of a car he once owned. Here's the discussion.

The funny thing is that some people are insisting that the Lansing Manifest (which is what a "build sheet" (a term used by automotive enthusiasts) is actually called by the people in the industry) looked unique to all other GM plants.

The "A" and "B" printed cards look more like a broadcast card than what is commonly accepted as a "build sheet."

I got a large sheet called production code B with my W31 and the small broadcast card.

isn’t the large B sheet the build sheet?

if there is another sheet , what info would be in it that these two don’t have ?

mine looked like this

Look at post 44. That is what is considered a build sheet at all other GM plants, as far as I know.

Consider yourself fortunate to possess the Production Code B Card. I'm pea-green with envy!

I've seen a few in relation to 1969 H/O's as that is what I pay attention to, Canadianolds post # 50 is a good example.
Here's another 'poor' one that was claimed to be found under carpeting...
