Chassis Broadcast Sheet

[rare396bronze]

I have parted out many 67-69 Camaro's never seen build sheets in any of the cars. But have a 68 plain  Camaro that my better half bought brand new that the dealer gave her both build sheets plus shipper paperwork which is pretty cool. I  did have 80 z28 that I found the build sheet under the left rear seat. I also had a friend that had a 71 Camaro that found his sheet under rear seat also.

so how much could have changed from 68,& 69 to 71 . I would think while finding the paperwork may be rare, that if it does exist, under the back seat may be a good spot to look.

under the back seat may be a good spot to look.

Did you not see what William posted about Fisher and the interior???

A different car but I had a 1983 Chevy malibu wagon and under the back seat I had 2 sheets, one for the wagon and another for a brown v6 El Camino, I assumed it was for the car before my wagon and they just threw it in my wagon on the assembly line

Sure, but you have to acknowledge the ones that have been found, right?

So the procedure was to toss them. Was this followed 100% of the time, no.

I guess like other some other procedures that were laid out by Chevrolet, this was not followed 100% of time by the employees , so broadcast copies have been found by different owners, or been given to them by the dealer ( which would mean they would have been located outside the garbage can as well).

No, I do not acknowledge that any broadcast sheets have been found in the rear seats of a 67-9 Camaro.

[BULLITT65]

Um, that wasn't the question....

I have no idea what finding a build sheet in any of the cars mentioned has to do with finding one in a 67-69 Camaro built at the Norwood, OH assembly plant.

As noted several times, the seating and upholstery panels were installed by Fisher Body. Fisher Body had no use for them, never saw them because they didn't exist when the body was being assembled. That's why they are not behind door panels or under the rear seat.

Ever consider an evening class in reading comprehension?

So there was no way they could make out of the factory into anyones hands, yet they exist.

When I say under the rear seat, does that mean they couldn't have been on the floor where the carpet stops? (like they were discarded on the floor, not tucked into the rear seat)

Sorry,  I thought english was your first language.

Austin, Fisher body never had broadcast sheets..  That was a Chevrolet side thing only.  By the time the sheets were put in or on the car the interior carpet and rear seat were installed..  There MIGHT be a slim chance of finding a UOIT (Uniform Option Identification Tag),  but that isnt the same as a "buildsheet".  Usually the likely reason in an owner receiving buildsheet is either it was thrown inside the car and during dealer prep of the new car it was added it to their new cars folder (like rare396bronze mentioned) or there was one that happened to have been found under the hood insulation on a deluxe interior car IIRC but that is most likely a miss by the assembly line worker before the installation of said insulation and probably a one and a million occurrence.

Read the link William posted.  It explains all of that.

Guess I started all this.    Kurt, just because I'm curious, approx how many Norwood built 67-69 Camaro broadcast copies have you seen during your years of Camaro research?

This was in my first post and explained that since I have one, I'm well aware BCs made it out of the factory. How you gleaned that out of this thread I have no idea.

I have a real one [not a copy] that was in the folder with other paperwork from the cars' delivery. Sometimes they were retained during new car prep, most often discarded. They were generated by Chevrolet when the assembled body was in queue for release to final assembly.

Apparently that wasn't clear enough for you so I posted it again.

The Gibb ZL1 BCs exist because they were left inside the car and he saved them. Apparently that was common but most dealers discarded them during prep.

Still not getting it, Kurt posted the same thing for a third time:

Dealers either discarded the copies in the car or put them in the dealership's new car file.

A good rule is that when you're in a hole, stop digging.

Good one William :>) I think you and Kurt have went above and beyond trying to explain this.

When asked about these first gen Norwood body broadcast sheets by local guys, I tell them don't even bother looking !

For what it is worth I found what the mice left of my 77 Trans Am firebirds under the rear seat. Mostly confetti but enough to know what it was. The little rascals carcass was there also.
