Depends how much the rear seat was used. Everytime someone sits on it the springs rub the paper.
Fender tags

I found The Cherry Bomb's under the front seat in the springs, I also found the broadcast sheet for the Moyes' Fifth Avenue under the trunk mat. Those are the only two I've ever found. I remember talking to a guy with an '87 Diplomat at afew car shows in CT and he found his in the rear seat back

I don't recall ever finding one in my Aspen. If I did, it could have been 30-35 years ago and is probably long gone, or in a box somewhere. Do have the fender tag though.
Until fairly recently, the build sheets really didn't mean much to very many people, me included. We would rip out the seat or the dash, find it and in the trash it went. Not like we could decipher them anyway. Redo the car nicely and they wouldn't bring massive rich folk money like now so, those little crusty papers didn't matter. Now in the last two decades, the rich people and archaeologists would rather have the build sheet, the chalk marks and the correct exact clamp on the fuel line, but they wont even look under the car when they write that check for $700,000. We build them, we fix them. We drive them, and we do know them....but We don't splice DNA
