These were printed for Canadian cars. And of course you wouldn't find a US sheet in a Canadian car.
Even if you had an IBM or whatever printer from the past, good luck making it work unless you have one of these.

Sorry to ask so many questions.I'm not looking at reproducing anything just trying to find out what the canadian ones looked like since I have never seen one in all the cars I parted any model other than that strips I refer to under the seat maybe 2 1/2 by 6" with some codes on it.
Also the reason I asked about the US sheets in the canadian cars I thought all ls-6's were made in the US and shipped up here so would they have had the Us build sheets.
There is a black ls-6 up here canadian car which the guy keeps swaring the build sheet he has was found in the car but it is like I would find in a us car.He would also be the type to pay the 1100 for a fake.
The help is appreciated

Hey Joe,
Heres a couple examples of the Canadian buildsheets I have pulled from cars down here. They were all St. Therese built. I think the cars with the small strips were Oshawa built,(number 1 for 7th vin character).
Steve

When I said Canadian printed buildsheet, I mean the car was build in Canada. So as you mentioned, if I ordered a LS6 and it was shipped to Canada then, yes it would have a buildsheet from the US plant. I'm not sure if they looked different if the car was exported to Canada. I wouldn't go to that trouble if I made the decision about the build sheet form number.

I have a couple of small sheets from a 70 SS396/350 Canadian car, but it's not a build sheet that I'll post later.

Mmm, those sheets above look familiar to the blanks I have when I used to print them. I still remember aging paper in the oven for a public school project.

Thanks Guys. I am ok now after seeing the pictures. Most of the cars we had and still have except one were Oshawa built which would explain why I was seeing the strips.I have seen the remains of a couple of the ones like you had posted Steve but did not think they were a build sheet since they were so in complete now I know.
So different up here we just send the tag data and get the gm docs so never focused on these.
Thanks again for the help.
If I can find it I have a trim tag that will blow your mind off a 427 caprice.never seen so many option codes on a tag in my life.

I have a few cases involving fake buildsheets at this moment, but luckily all of them are so obvious that a chemical paper analysis is not needed (at least not at this point in the litigation).

Fake buildsheets are out there and as talked about on here many times we must be very leary when buying a car with a pile of documentation as, lets face it, how many of these car survive with all their original paperwork, not many!

Trying to get law enforcment and the state legislatures to do something about this is difficult as they usually don't have the where with all to effectively pursue these types of issues.

As I've said before its merely the old used car tricks that salesmen have pulled for generations rearing their heads again, in new ways.

If you purchase a car that is sold to you as the real McCoy and it turns out to be a close then take em to court and sue his azz off. Fraud isn't taken lightly.
