    Can anyone tell me if the build sheets were left in the cars when they were made. I know old Mustang's had them under the carpet on the pass side. I have my back seat out to do rear speakers and I would love to find it. Thanks Rick

    My '74 Grabber built at the Wayne plant had two identical build sheets, one was in the springs of the front seat and the other was under the carpet on the passenger side.

    You might not have one at all. I would say most of the time you will not find one.

    :agreed:

    Crap shoot of a chance of finding a good one. I have found 3 out of a dozen or so cars. Check front bench and rear seat springs first. Many northern cars I've parted had such rotten floorpans, if it was under the carpet it was dissolved by water over time.

    Out of all the Mavericks I have...or had...I have found very few. Maybe 5 out of 40 or so cars.

    I sure this is a stupid question but what purpose would a build sheet serve now?
