Hi
Scott,
Well,
I sure wouldn�t rip up "mint" original seat covers just to find a build sheet
that may not even be there.
In
1969 there was no way to tell if it was a true SS by the VIN
number.
The
build sheet could be anywhere or nowhere. There was no set standard about
leaving them anywhere, but often the assembly line people did leave them in
the car. Other common places to check are on top of the gas tank and under the
carpets, but like I said, I wouldn�t go ripping things up just to see if there
is a build sheet or not.
JMO,

Chevelle Seat Upholstery
Hey
John,
I may have to buy a set of
seat upholstery from you. The pisser is, my upholstery is in practically mint
condition. I just aquired my '69 Chevelle SS 396 after 20 years of waiting (it
was my grandfathers car, he died in 1983). My dad inherited it and did
absolutely nothing with it at all, but was nice enough to sell it to me after
all these years. Anyway, I'm franticly looking for the build sheet and I'm
told that inside the seats is one of the likely locations. This is why I may
have to gain access to the inside of the seats and may need new covers. I'm
actually looking for your input on build sheet locations. I'm new to this and
just got on this mailing list but see your name and letters in here all the
time. I figured you might not mind giving me some input. Like I said, I'm new
to this and some of the VIN # breakdown info I have gotten contradicts that my
car is indeed a genuine SS which is why I am hell bent on locating the build
sheet. It would be quite a mystery if this car was not an SS. My grandfather
bought it brand new in 1969 and it was sold as an SS. I also have quite a bit
of doccumentation on the car, as well as the protecto tag. The only way I can
think of that this car isn't a true SS is if the dealership "cloned" it in
1969. Do you know of any instances of this happening? Anyway John, I just
wanted to introduce myself (I'm Scott by the way) and see if I could pick your
brain a little. Any input you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott Jackson
