Found my broadcast sheet!!!!!!!!!!!(updated pics)Decoding help?

[bmoparmofo]

I'm going to take a pic later and let someone try to figure it out, I thought I had lost it after all these years,It does say that for wheel covers it has code w15, the one book I have says wire wheels, are these common? I dont think I have seen them, and does anyone have a pic of this option on a 69 charger?, I took some pics of her last night and will put some pics up when I get home from work,Curious about the wheels, thanks!

W15 is the deep dish 14" wheel cover....the most common on Chargers
See here.

Congrads on the find

This book I have says w13 is tthe deep dish cover and w15 is wire wheel, must be a typo?    Thanks!

This book I have says w13 is tthe deep dish cover and w15 is wire wheel, must be a typo?    Thanks!

I think for later years ('70 or '71, I forget which) the W15 did call out wire wheel covers.  I'd have to check the little white book, but for '69 they definitely indicate the deep dish wheel covers like Chris posted a link to, especially since they didn't offer wire wheel covers that year.

Glad you found your B-cast sheet though!

[bmoparmofo]

Apparently the "restaroation guide" I purchased needs some work....lol, I didnt ever remember a 69 with factory wire wheels but the book left me scratching my head , thanks for the replies, I will post some pics when I get home!

That info is correct but not until the 70 model.

Here is one of mine.

[bmoparmofo]

I keep trying to post pics and it says something already with the same file name , I will figure it out, I even renamed the pics....

[bmoparmofo]

Pics finally........

[bmoparmofo]

Maybe now?

[bmoparmofo]

Dont mind the dust, she has been sitting since "86" when I bought her , and the guy before me a few years before that , I am going to give it my best shot this year and see what I can do, She aint dead yet, ...lol

[bmoparmofo]

Here is a couple of her broadcast sheet..........

[hemigeno]

Thanks for posting the pictures - looks like you definitely have something to work with there!

Just for practice, let me take a stab at what your fender tag should read...

Have you been able to decode the rest of the B-cast sheet?  There are several guys on here who can decode almost everything on that sheet, so if you're curious just ask.

[bmoparmofo]

Unfortunately the fender tag is missing , I am trying to figure it out and really try to get some progress done this year, thanks for the reply and I hope to hear more.

[bmoparmofo]

I would love to hear more of a decode if anyone want to give it a shot, maybe one day get a fender tag repop?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Geno posted exactly what your tag should look like

Just to clarify some of Mikes decoding...

B51 does not stand for power disc brakes.  it only is a designation for power assist brakes.  B41 would be the code for discs followed by B51.
B51 alone would indicate power drum brakes

the T5 color name for 69 would be Copper Metallic

Other than that Mike hit it on the head!

[mikepmcs]

Oop, yup.  my bad, thanks Chris.

[bmoparmofo]

Thank you very much with your help, at least it has a couple options...lol, I hope to bring her back to life this summer, thanks again.

[69bronzeT5]

Cool, another T5 car!!!! GO T5's!!!!!

[hemigeno]

Ok, I'll try and 'cipher the B-cast sheet as best I can.  Might have a few that I don't have the info for or have messed up, so feel free to straighten me out...  The codes typed on your sheet are in bold, but on some of these I added the code prefix for clarity's sake.

Line 1
2 - Second assembly line at the assembly plant
020330 - an internal sequence number, which I personally believe indicated the order that the Broadcast Sheets came out of the printer and therefore indicates the approximate order that the cars went down the assembly line.  No correlation to anything else though unless you're comparing another car's B-cast sheet from the same plant from around that time.
930 - Scheduled Production Date of September 30th, 1968
062088 - The Special Order number, which should correlate to the actual order form that your car's selling dealer wrote the order on.  These were pre-numbered and issued by the Regional Sales Office to the dealerships.
XP29G9B - already mentioned

You'll also note that there are no boxes checked under the "Y" - Vehicle Deliver and Handling boxes, which there often is.  Hard to say if the car was special-ordered for a customer as a pre-sold car, or if it was just a sales bank car.

Line 2
E61 - 383 2bbl rated at 290hp
D32 - A727 3-speed auto transmission
D51 - 8-3/4" rear axle with 2.76 gears.  The absence of anything in the following box means that it was not a SureGrip rear axle.
T32 - 7.75x14" White stripe tires
C6X - Charger trim grade interior - Black Vinyl
X9 -  Black upper door frame paint color
V01 - Monotone paint
T5 - Copper Metallic Roof color - however this first code was not stamped on a Hamtramck fender tag when a Vinyl Roof was added.
T5 - Copper Metallic Body Color
V1X - Black vinyl roof

Line 3
43 - Indicated a steering column for a power steering car - I'm fairly sure about this code

67 - Standard-duty front shock absorbers stamped with 2462067
93 - Standard-duty rear shock absorbers stamped with 2834893
22 - Not sure exactly, probably means 10x2-1/2 power drum brakes

Line 10
R11 - 2-watt Solid State AM radio
S13 - HD Rallye suspension - I'm really sure this should be there
S2? - I don't think there was a code here, but maybe so
S77 - Power Steering - I am convinced this would be there
S79 - 3-spoke partial horn ring with padded center
W15 - Deep dish wheel covers

That's about all I can help out with.

Interestingly, my Dart sheets are all 1s and the Barracudas and Chargers are 2. The assembly Line 1 or Line 2 may hold true for Hamtramck plant but you will find other numbers or even letters in this place at other plants. I do not believe there is a correlation between the next group of numbers and the actual build sequence number. You can find many instances where the first number is considerably lower than the VIN or SPD. I do think whatever the number indicated was reset during the production year as late model year builds can have a low number. It 'counted something' but I do not think it was the actual printing of the BS


Line 3
0 - Don't know about this numberI have one source that indicates this is the front yoke size. It lists 0 for 26 radiators, 1 for 19 or 22" radiators and 2 for Imperials but I don't think this is  exactly right as I have both 22" and 26" radiators with the same yoke code. More research required...

20 - 59 amp-hr. Battery - I'm fairly sure on this oneThat's what I have

22 - Not sure exactly, probably means 10x2-1/2 power drum brakesThis is the brake assembly code ie drum brakes, what size of brakes, disc brakes, etc

43 - Not sure exactly, probably a factory code for the auto brake pedal assemblyPedal assembly code ie clutch with standard brakes, auto with standard brakes, power brake, etc

7 - I don't know what this one infersSupposed to be the last digit of the PN for the pedal pad but I haven't confirmed it. Example...pad with pedal dress up or without

Line 10

S13 - HD Rallye suspension - I'm really sure this should be thereI agree...
S2? - I don't think there was a code here, but maybe so I think you'll find 25 here when the 32/92 firm ride shocks were used

My  For what that's worth....

I can add a part number to the list. -38- vacuum fitting is 1948838-3 way w/AC.
A list of all of them is in the parts book under 5-110-18.
As to S13 H.D. susp.w/sway bar.(non R/T).All 69 chargers are supposed to be built with it.
