I found the build sheet for my 84 LTD LX behind the back seat. Funny thing is it's still attached to the build sheet for another car.

Two sheets were together because the two cars went down the trim & chassis assembly line consecutively. The LTD wagon (rotations #0497) was before the LX (#0498).
I should be able to decode some of both sheets and the door tag later.

Not sure but will check. Thanks for the decode on the build sheet. Great info! Only thing I see that doesn't go along with as built is that this car has speed control. I read the decode as not having it?
Wonder if any of our Canadian friends on here have that wagon? Free build sheet if you do!

Your LX's build sheet has "S" in Position 28 on Line F (Speed Control) which means it was to be built with cruise control. (See decode in post #3 above.)
