What is this paper?

Hi,

I was taking the drivers seat out of my '86 Z-28 and found this paper underneath the seat between the springs and the foam. It appeared to be a build sheet at first glance but it has nowhere enough information to be it. Could anyone identify this for me?

Thanks

It's an option sheet the factory used as the car was going down the assembly line so they knew what parts to install in the car. It usually has trim options, etc.

It is one of the Dozen or so pieces of paper that were used to identify and make the car the way it was supposed to be on the assembly line.

This one and the master list that shows all of your RPO's on it are probably the most commonly found. There was one for the IP, one for just the interior, If you do a search for Build Sheet, you will find other examples.

Yeah. I had one of those under both front seats. Haven't found the build sheet yet, but that's a role of the dice. Not all cars will have one after it left the factory. Many ended in the factory trash can.
