build sheet locations

[95se]

so i was at the local junk yard and found a build sheet in the trunk on a 92 sse. ive got a 95 and its not in the trunk where else can i look? i really want to find it!

I'm not really aware that these cars had "build sheets" like back in the 60s. Even in 95, things were much more automated. New cars just used scanners in the factory and have barcodes everywhere.

Depending on the assembly line/plant, there can sometimes be a checklist though with all the RPO's a specific vehicle is supposed to have, in kind of a table format. I would see them occasionally across many GM vehicles in service.

It is then scanned at pre-determined points down the assembly line (these times will show up in any GMVIS pull of the build of the car), but once it reaches the end, it is supposed to be removed and sent to accounting for some form of a TPS report (just kidding). In reality, it's not meant to be kept with the car is what I mean, so if you find one, it was forgotten, or Quality Control was a little hung over from their Labor Day weekend.

This keeps coming up.
GM cars may or may not leave the factory with a build sheet.
Good places to look are under the seats or on top of the gas tank, but there is no guarantee that there is one in the car at all.

Thanks guys! I guess its the the fact that im just young(18) and im used to seeing these when my dad gets a new muscle car but when i seen one in that 92 sse it got me all excited lol, by the way that 92 had 2 aerolite rims i really eish it had 4...

did you try to remove the trunk lid liner, a while ago a lot of members found them there.

[95se]

I dont have the trunk lid liner i looked in the trunk lid though

[CMNTMXR57]

This isn't the 60's anymore though. Everything is computerized and J.I.T. (Just In Time), methodology, so not a lot of physical paperwork other than what is absolutely necessary, accompanies the car down the line.

[95se]

I know its not like the 60s but im just saying i found a real build sheet in a 92 sse and was curious if there would be one in my 95 somewhere

[Jrs3800]

There were only 2 places that we knew of on the Bonnevilles... Sometimes you would find them under the trunk carpet towards the jack kit, or in the actual trunk lid...

I think there were none after 94-95

[95se]

Ill look under the carpet in the trunk and see about that

my 94 SE has build sheet in trunk lid. (slides into metal gap)

I found a build sheet in my '95, stuffed between the outer skin and the inner framework of the trunk lid. It was yellowed and I thought it was an old piece of newspaper at first. Turned out to have quite a bit of useful information.

I know sometimes they can be found on the early 90's gms slipped up behind the front or rear bumper covers as well, Don't know about bonnevilles though in that case. I had 2 firebirds, a 91 & 89 I found tucked up inside the front bumper cover, and an 83 trans am that had it under the seat but slipped between the meta farma and the seat itself.

Interesting thread! It has made me want to go and look too.

[rustyroger]

Don't tear your car apart Simon, have a look by all means, but you may or not be lucky.
If you damage your trim or whatever on a wild goose chase you are on a lose/lose case.

You may get lucky but no don't bank on it.

Roger.

[Saturn Simon]

No, I won't go that far. l'll only lift or remove things that are easy to move.
