Build sheet whereabouts?

[lonewolf]

I'm a bit more familiar with the 50's and 60's car that had the build sheet under a seat or the dash. Would the build sheet for a 78 Grand Prix be hidden or would it be a sticker applied somewhere? I've already checked the trunk lid and glove box.

I found 2 under the carpet and 1 under the rear seat in my 85 Bonne

The hard core truth, they stuck them where ever they felt, no rhyme or reason unfortunately. Typical places are as Fleming mentioned, AND under the front seats (bottom side under a seat coil), under the hood insulation, under the headliner, inside the door panels ..as far as the back seat, I have found them on the bottom and the back rest part, tucked under the springs of the seat cushion. Another place was atop the fuel tank...if its an unmolested car, chances are its still somewhere in there...GOOD LUCK!!!

It's a 50,*** mile car that doesn't appear to have been touched. Have had the front bench seat and lower rear seat out for better access while installing an original 78 AM/FM cassette so no luck there. Not going to start tearing things apart looking for it just wondered what the common areas are.
I'm also reading into the replies that in 1978 it was still a paper sheet and they hadn't yet gone to the sticker.

Correct, no SPID stickers until 83(?). My 85 has a SPID in the trunk and the paper sheets in the car.

First year for that SPID sticker containing the PRO codes was 1984.

I scoured over my wagon for one and came up empty. All original except the headliner was replaced at some point, so I assume it was above the headliner and removed at that time. I looked under the hoodliner, all door panels, carpet, under all seats, above gas tank, in re-doing the interior this year no stone was left unturned. Kind of bummed if it was tossed out.

I found them on headliner, under driver seat, back seat, top of back seat, top gas tank and finally behind passenger door top panel.

Anywhere possible. Under the carpet as a few mentioned... Headliners, In the Dash, Back seat etc.

They aren't even supposed to be in the cars. They were supposed to be removed from the part and discarded when the car was assembled, but.....if they were out of sight, who would know?

Some cars/plants/years have them, some don't. There are also cases where the sheet in a car is for one either before or after the car it was found in.
