There have been a few questions recently about build codes, fender tags and so on. I've tried to follow along and figure out what is what, but since I don't yet have a fender tag to check, the only source of info for my car is the broadcast sheet, which the seller photographed for me.
I am having a pisser of a time trying to find a site online that gives accurate - or maybe clear is the word - information. There are numerous sites with a lot of codes beginning with letters which I assume are fender tag codes. Several of these sites claim to have charts for 62-68 and similar broadcast sheets, but they're either missing numbers or the listings make zero sense (tire sizes listed for an axle number, for example).
As well, there are different numbers used for the same item on different sections of the broadcast sheet. It's enough to make ya talk to yourself, though I admit it doesn't take a lot for me.
Attached is the broadcast sheet. I'm trying to figure out a few things like differential, paint color, and just what each number means under each heading. For example, under Sure Grip it lists 8. Under Rear Heat/Defroster it lists 8. Does 8 mean 'No'? And if it does, why are other things left blank?
Here is one of the sites I was trying to use:
http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=58
It basically seems to be a copy of another site I checked as far as using the same incomplete or unclear list of numbers.
As for the broadcast sheet, at the top it lists 62 for engine (which I decoded to 383 4bbl) and 103 for engine under the Build Code section below. Axle lists as 4 at the top, 056 at the bottom, and neither number corresponds with what's in the online decoders I've found.
Does there exist anywhere a clear breakdown that says 'A number 6 listed under Reverb/R. Speaker column means this...'? It shows up as '383 8bbl' on the decoder.
Or even better - a numerical list of all the numbers for each option?
I need a drink....
