66 Build sheet location
Permalink  

The other night when I removed the cluster from my GP I spotted a second copy of the build sheet. I found the first one shortly after I bought it, in the bucket seat back.

When I pulled the cluster out, this was in plain sight, looking down from the top. It's not in good shape, very brittle and a piece of it was already missing but if you've had no luck, this would be another place to look.

From right to left, headlight switch, wiper switch, then the copy of the sheet.

Looking from the driver's side straight across the back of the cluster:

Nice clean dash.  Mine had a prety thick layer of mouse crap.  I cleaned it up right around Christmas and I was lucky not to get a bad case of santavirus.

Yah, they're not very big. Mine is only about 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" and is tractor feed paper with all the holes down the side.
Found 1 under the back seat - wonder if there's a 2nd one?

I know I've had at least one other car that I found one in the seat and one under the dash but I think it was also a 66 GP, so not sure if it's widespread.

I'll have to pull off the seat backs of that 67 Grande i just bought. My 66 ones were mouse food but this cars interior is really really good.

Its amazing what tinted glass and AC will do to keep an interior from falling apart.

 This one was in pretty tough shape, real brittle but yes it appeared to be a twin to the nice one that I found in the seat.
