What do these codes mean? Where can I get information on them?

Yes..Which codes in particular do you want to know about?
The codes & syntax in boxes 1-106 are for the cars actual components.
Box 107 holds the regular production options the vehicle was assembled with.
Boxes 108 & on are the delivery/assembly information details.
Looks like a typical Atl.issued buildsheet from here..

I need the codes to restore the car, like carpet says C6330 what the heck is that? Or box 76 arms rear "NHHD"??

C6330 stood for a specific front carpet panel that was uniquely designed for a car w/Benchseat,not buckets & not a console.It was not specifying the color in anyway.
NH HD-(Heavy Duty) was just one of the callout codes for an F-41 Super Sport specific "boxed" rear lower control arm.

The box codes are from Inspectors guides and assembly manuals. I have inspectors guides for most year Oldsmobiles and the codes for different componemts show what would be seen in the boxes on a broadcast sheet for an Olds for that particular year. For example in box 12,for Steering knuckle, oldsmobile used code OM for option code Jl2 disc brakes. I am sure different plants and assembly lines had their own codes. These inspectors guides come up on ebay from time to time. I suspect the really good restoration shops or individuals that specialize in a particular car would have them.

Why if my car is a bucket seat car with 4 speed console has this number listed????

if your car is a bucket seat car w/ console the front carpet no. would be 6299, rear would be the same 3466, in boxes 77 & 78

could it be a typo?

crazychevelleman · #9 02-25-2009, 04:23 AM

I was just thinking, could this be a fake, If so, I got ripped off?

Well I see I made a mistake,it was a color specific carpet code after all.And your's could be an anomaly too.
After getting home from work,and rechecking my notes,these are the carpet codes I have come across:
*C6323 was a black ft. carpet code for a Benchseat w/Floor shift.
*C6330 was a black ft. carpet code for a Benchseat w/Column shift.
*C6299 was a black ft. carpet code for a Bucketseat car,be it with or without floor console.
All three of these used black rear carpet code of C3466.

Your buildsheet seat code of 791 is an Ivory vinyl Bucketseat callout,which normally took a C6299 black ft. carpet.But it also shows it was assembled with a C6330 Benchseat Columnshift carpet and it also doesn't show any of the bucketseat or console RPO codes either.

Possibly a factory typo on the 791 code,or someone tampered with your buildsheet or car.
My computer screen isn't the best,but your buildsheet looks good to me from here..
I don't know your details,so can't say if you got ripped off or not.Take a look at your Cowl tag ontop of the driverside firewall and tell us what the seat code is.
It will be the first character on the first line and look like ST 791.Also check the floor under the bucketseat mounts for welded bkts. on either side,as the factory would've done it that way originally.
