Why? Because there is a bunch of information on the sheet. And, because some of it isn't intuitive to the casual observer.

Anyway, I've done these things so far: First, I scanned in Big Blue's build sheet. Second, I created a document (spreadsheet) with which to capture the data. Third, I put the first two rows of info from both Big Blue's build sheet as well as another that I happen to have in the document. And last, I created a web page to show the info on: Build Sheet Interpretation - ???Gary's Garagemahal.

So, I have three questions:
  • Do you understand what I'm doing?
  • Workable? Is this approach workable? Or, can you think of a better approach?
  • Your Build Sheet? How 'bout sending me a scan of your build sheet so I can enter its info. The more info that we have the easier it'll be to decode things.
tried to pm you but it says your thing is full.
you have any luck with this?

I don't think he visits here much if at all. He has his own forum where most of the old regulars now use.

Build sheets

Hi, I have a build sheet for a 1980 F100 with a 300 inline 6. I found it when I reupholstered my seat. Here is the scan.
