original build sheet

I have a 78 f150 that I'm currently rat rodding . I was tearing out the interior to replace it w some good stuff and found the original build sheet still taped to the floor . Now my question is . Is this common to find in these trucks ? I've owened qiet a few of these trucks but this is the first one of these I've ever seen. I was told this was suppose to be removed at the end the assyembly line. Is this true ? Just really courious .

I work at Oakville assembly plant and yes most of the time these build sheets are to be removed prior to carpet or mat, but not all make it out. You can also find them under the dash in the seats or even the engine compartment.

Not that its gonna matter on this truck but if I was to restore this truck would it make it worth more money ? I've run the vin a couple of yrs ago n found that its still original and untouched.it only has 97000 miles on it 300 6cyl 3spd on the colum.

I doubt it, it will just prove what the truck came with out of the factory.
