BS would be good but PHS is always available and provides the same info. How about some pix?

The build sheet is a great addition to any Pontiac owner's pile of documentation. There is information contained that PHS does not have access to, for example: Broadcast date - is the date the order was introduced to the production system for build. PHS only has access to the invoice date (which can be wildly different in some cases). Also provides a valuable comparison between the body build date code on the cowl tag (09A in my case) vs the final line build timing. Body number - PHS does not have access to any Fisher Body cowl tag information Specific part numbers and broadcast codes - kinda fun to match up the "TT" radiator code to the physical part, for example. The build sheet provides a brief noun name description of the option which the billing history punch card does not Plus - the build sheet can highlight specific alterations to the content. For example I had always wondered why the rally cluster (with tach) did not make it onto our car or window sticker/invoice. The build sheet shows that the car was intended to have it but was "built without" for some unknown reason ("Built Less 504" . I don't know the reason but I at least know now it was intended and there was an issue with it. The PHS did not reveal this nuance; only that the option wasn't included.K

Don't get me wrong: PHS is a godsend and was unique in the hobby for many years.
It's just that build documentation only found in the car itself trumps the PHS, in my opinion. It's like finding an original copy of the Declaration of Independence as opposed to a microfiche version at the library. K
