LOL - ok - I'm in full "pedant" mode.

What the GM Heritage Center has (when they have it) is the original "invoice", which would have the RPO content, pricing, build dates, original dealer and the order-er's name (if it was a GM employee).

The "build sheet" is the document that followed the vehicle down the line, informing the assemblers which option content was needed for that truck. They were supposed to be thrown away at the end of the line along with any other trash like extra screws, coffee cups, inspection papers, etc, but often were built into the vehicle. That's why it was easier to leave them inside the seat or on top of the fuel tank than to throw it away. They only exist in the vehicle if at all, and were not kept by any historical agency be it the GM Heritage Center, Vintage Vehicle Services (GM of Canada) or Pontiac Historical Services (PHS).

Now I'm done.
