Default Re: 1969 GTO Build Sheet

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 &quot;TT&quot; 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 &quot;built without&quot; for some unknown reason (&quot;Built Less 504&quot. 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.
