    For years I have been decoding buildsheets for Buick Gran Sports. I have continued to add other years and types of sheets to my list. With the interest in this growing I have put together a list of the different sheets I decode along with the prices I charge. Some of the sheets take longer to decode then others so the prices are higher. This is the up-to-date list. I will update the one on my website later.
    Thanks for the interest.

    Note; if you want the UPC codes also decoded for the (LGBS) sheets, there will be an extra $10.00 fee charged, and you will receive a second decoded sheet.

    What you will receive back (Via Snail Mail) is a nice representation of the original Build Sheet that can be displayed at shows. In large Red letters across the middle of the sheet will be the word REPRODUCTION and a warning of the same at the bottom. On the reverse side will be a list of the codes along with the decoded information.

    I also decode the following Build Sheets for all Production Plants.

    1968-1972 Protect-O-Plates (POP) $15.00
    1970-1972 IBM Cards (IBM) $20.00
    Also
    1970 & 1972 Sloan Information Packets $15.00

    What you will receive back (Via Snail Mail) is a list of the codes along with the decoded information in an easy to read format.

    Disclaimer: I decode only Original Build Sheets. This does not mean your car was built in accordance with these sheets, I have found errors in the past. Also I will not create a Build Sheet for a car, so dont even ask.

    1. Full Name
    2. Address
    3. Phone # (With times to call, in case I need to ask a few questions.)

    6. If needed a Second copy, with the codes Inked in to make them more legible.

    Duane decoded the build sheet for my '68 GS400 convertible and it is very interesting to see what all of those letters/numbers mean. From the info that Duane decoded I can now prove that my GS came with the Buick Chrome Wheels ( chrome center only) with trim rings. I have been told that those type of rims were not original for my car, now I can prove them wrong..:moonu:

    Thanks again Duane, nice job :TU:

    Hey all, Duane repoped the Build Sheet for my '68 GS350, 4-speed, it is awesome! I sent him some info that I had on the '68s that helped him finalize the info that confirmed Mike Trom's wheels too! And have since found some more info on '67s that I will be sending him, so he will soon be able to do those too, we hope!
    Also received the repoped '68 courtesy lens, and they are awesome!
    Thanks Duane! more to come in a care package in a few days, I think I need to insure it for a zillion dollars, though! RV

    Duane I was just wondering if you can decode my gas tank sticker? I thought it was the build sheet but after some research it is not. I have not looked in all the locations yet. But finding this sticker in my 69 GS 400 conv 4sp is awsome. any help would be great. Thanks Pete

    Pete,
    If you have a 69 Flint built vehicle then it is probably a Production Order Body Final sheet. If so then it is definately considered a build sheet.

    I don't have all the codes figured out yet for the 69's but if you send me the following information I will see what I can do.
