Need Help on unknown paper found in '69 Cutlass

Hello all,
Well as you can tell I need help. I have a paper out of my car, but I don't know what it is or how to decode it if it will tell me the options that my car came with. I don't have a picture, but I did recreat it on excel. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nice find!
This pretty much told the guys building the chassis which parts to use. Like use code NN rear springs, etc. The springs would all have a paper tag to identify them and they needed to pull NN for the rear for yours.

It does not tell the whole story on the build and does not say anything on the interior options, as a separate sheet might tell that.
Hard to tell some things, like if it had disc brakes or not.

If someone had a magic decoder ring, the outcome would be interesting!

You are most likely correct. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Any clues on what it is? I am currently baffled.

I'd guess it's one of the true 'build sheets' that follow the car down down the assembly line!
Never seen one before - great find!!

It's the assembly plant build sheet.

It was used by the guys putting together the car together on the assembly line so they would know what stuff they should put on the car, like Rob and Rickman said.

Nice documentation, a few of the codes are obvious like the engines but I have no idea how to decipher the single digits and letters either, may have denoted what bin or rack they grabbed the part from for all I know.
