Can anybody decode my buidlsheet for me? I want to know which options came with my car. It is 1974 Charger SE Brougham. I saw somwhere that it was supposed to have a clock and it doesn't.It also only has a mirror on one side and every other SE that i have seen has one. I am wondering how it came from the factory.
Thanks

I can help but it's real hard to read it in that size of picture. It would be a lot easier with a larger version. I can see Y16 and Y96, H51, it doesn't appear to be coded for a clock but I can see J25 three speed wipers, B41 disc brakes and a couple others.

That's still a little small for my eyes to read and go back and forth between yours and a readable copy I have so let's try this: Here's a brief description of how to decode the sheet. Grab a piece of paper and see what you can do on your own. If you get stuck, send me a PM and we'll talk on the phone. That way you can learn how to decode a sheet and see what came on your car.

Line 1- administrative. Contains the sequence number, VON, VIN, U-C-I code and any Y codes.

Lines 2-6 are the actual assembly or 'build' codes. The numbers indicate a sales code (E44, D34,, D51, T34, etc) or an assembly code for components (steering column, brake set up) or the last 2-3 digits of a part number used (Rad(iator) 27, Vac(uum) fit 54 trans(mission) 862, P(ropeller) shaft 268. Some of the assembly codes contain a color such as horn pad 17X9 with X9 indicating black.

Lines 7-12 are sales codes such as H51, C15, D54, C93, B25, B46 etc.
Some of the boxes have a brief description followed by a single digit and a dash. The dash means there are several numbers that could follow the first digit such as G1-. The code is read G1 and whatever number is in the box like G11. If there are two numbers such as J55 undercoating, it indicates a yes or no option. If the last digit, in this case a '5' is in the box, the car has the option. If there is nothing in the box, it means the car didn't come with the item.

There are numerous websites out there that will give your the sales codes but be sure to find a site that covers your specific year. Codes could change over time so what code is correct for a 69 car may not be the same for a 74. Some assembly codes can be found in GG's white books or other sources and the part numbers (PNs) can be found in the White books or a parts book. However, part numbers can change over time too. The number used early in the year on the sheet may not be the same at the end of the year and a revised parts book could show a third number also.

Good luck. Let me know how it comes out.
