Would my 87 Gran Fury possibly have a build sheet under the seat like they earlier muscle cars had or was there a year Chrysler stopped that. How hard is it to get the back seat out of the gran fury ? Thanks
Build sheet
- Thread starter Plymouth3596
- Start date
To the best of my recollection, they stopped including build sheets after 1983, although it's possible an '84 may still have one. I don't recall the exact changeover date when they went from alpha-numeric sales codes to alpha (i.e., A38 -> AHB), but it was during or just before the '84 model year. The data on the fender tags will give you the info you need anyway, along with running the VIN through the Mopar VIN decoder.
Rear seat is easy. Two hooks along the bottom. Push down and back to unhook, then pull up from the front. Seat back has 2 7/16 bolts at the bottom, two hooks along the top.

I've never seen one in any of my 80s ones but some people have said they've found them.
Most stuff is on the vin tag and by the 80s there weren't all that many stand alone options or unique ordering ways like the older cars.

My 84' Dodge Daytona turbo z was built in Feb. of 84' and it has a build sheet under the rear seat. Still wanted to remove it eventually.
As I noted, it's possible that small numbers '84 models still had a build sheet. It could also be related to body architecture: 2 of my '81 M-bodies did; my '82 did not. None of my '84-'89 M-bodies (retail and fleet) had one.

Neither my 80 Aspen or 81 Gran Fury had a build sheet under any of the seats. Neither has been reupholstered. Unless my grandpa took them out for whatever reason in the 40 years he had them they were probably never there. I doubt the highway patrol would've taken it either.
I did have one (actually a 2-page) in my '79 St Regis A38. They may have removed them from yours during upfitting/decommissioning. The department would've had the specs anyway, as that's how they let out bids for new cars.

People may want to keep in mind that not all build sheets are under the rear seat cushions. They are (far less often) found in places like inside the headliner, as an example. So pulling out the rear seat cushion doesn't mean the car doesn't have one, it just may be in another place.
That would be true for much older cars. During the Iaccoca era, for the few years they actually put them in cars, it was either under a seat or behind the glove compartment. I recall an older B-body I had - we found it under the jute pad on the floorboard. So you never know. But with these newer cars, in my experience, just the seat or in the dash. They definitely didn't put them in '85 and newer M-bodies.
