Build Sheet Location

[joenardo]

What are some areas in the vehicle where the build sheet could be located? thanks

most common is the passenger side floor board - under the carpet .... it's also the easiest area to check and get to. I've also seen them under the back seat, spare tire, stuffed in the rear bumper cover ... but 90% - passenger side floor board.

If you look at this pic (stripped interior of my 4E while I restoring it), you can see the build sheet .. and it was "cooked" to the floor pan.

Maybe a good digital photo close-up and print out/// better than nothing before it gets an worse and you'll have the build info===
I have to check my own.....

I found mine behind the rear quarter trim panel on the passenger side of the hatch. It was still being held in place by the original masking tape.

I've also found them on 84 models taped nicely behind the pass side rear interior panel. On 85 and 86 SVOs, I have found them either under the carpet as Bud described, or in the spare tire well underneath the tire.

Good luck...

nope - mine's still there, and it was face down ... so no pic of it either. No big deal I guess ... I've done a complete paperwork trail on it with copies of registrations/titles from DOTs.

I doubt you would see it "cooked" to the floorpan if it was a Northern Car. Mine was sitting outside in South Texas and Florida. The whole interior of the car was dried, bleached, and cracked when I bought it. All better now

I found mine under the spare tire. I'm pretty lucky that no one had ever used the spare in 17 years or the build sheet would have probably ben trashed.

I don't know exactly where mine was, as it was pulled out by the first owner in perfect condition. He was a SVO nut... and I'm lucky he was as I still have the build sheet as well as the original window sticker. I found the second build sheet when I was putting the cold air kit on my car, as it was tucked away in the corner of the front bumper cover.

There's no rime or reason as to where Ford puts them... they're always in different places so it seems.

Build sheet

The sheet on my 85 was found under the passenger rear seat/carpet area by the 2'nd owner, who was enough of an SVO nut to keep his car info, documents and reciepts in its own folder. I had to pass a darn screening process to buy that car.

I'll find where the sheet is on my 84 maybe when I tear it down to refurbish it for it's 25'th birthday present.

sheet

84, I found 2 copies of mine taped with masking tape under the rear seat side trim panel on the left. I don't recall if it was taped to the panel or the body.

Build Sheet No Dealer Prep

I've never had my interior out but I got my build sheet with the shipping paperwork when I declined the dealer prep with delivery. I think I'll go check under the carpet... Maybe I'll find a second sheet.
