Re: [FWDLK] '59 Dodge Build Sheet

I found the build sheet for my mother's 79 Dodge Aspen stuffed between the
frame and the steering box. After 5 years, it was decipherable, but not in
good shape.

Hi all!

Interesting note Jim about your build sheet.  I found a
build sheet for one of my 57 Dodge CRLs stuffed in the
springs of the rear seat cushion! It was rather rough and
tattered but still all together. I guess they put them
wherever they could - if they put them in the car at all!

Anyone else have other locations?
