    Default Ltd lx build sheet

    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.

    Does EG224489 still have its buck tag on the bottom of the radiator core support?

    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.)

    Sorry, my mistake, it's the line below the speed control. The car has tilt column.

    Kinda strange then. Guess mistakes were made or revisions to those sheets were made by additional paperwork.
    I'll look for the buck tag tomorrow.

    Interesting for sure. Looked for the buck tag and it's missing. Looks like it's had some front damage repaired at some point. Looks like left front.
    I need to look at my 85 and see if there's a build sheet somewhere.
