2 different broadcast sheets for the same car?

[Bleep Bleep]

I looked for a ‘wtH does that mean’ forum but didn’t find one.

Does anyone understand what a second broadcast sheet with a different sequence number for the same VIN means?

The second sheet is pretty rough shape but from I see every code is identical except the assembly line sequence number.

That may mean nothing sufficient but I am curious. Thoughts?

It was common for the line workers to put various sheets in a car.
We have a 71 GTX and I found it's bs plus three others. Two 71 RR's and a 71 S/bee.
Post the other sheet and maybe it's current owner will see it.

Not different cars. Both sheets have the same VIN in this case. That’s what’s puzzling. Thanks.

 

[moparmarks]

Though you said that they had different sequence numbers. That would be a different car.

 

[Bleep Bleep]

Yeah right? But the strange factor is the VIN on both sheets is my car, and reflects all codes correctly as my car. Simply a typo with preparing the form? Both ended up in my in my car?

The sequence numbers are
C030298 and C030167. Does that translate to line builds 131 cars apart?

Anyway am wondering if anyone here’s direct experience may provide any other possible explanations.

That is pretty weird. Two of the exact same cars?

From what I’ve heard, there was multiple sheets for every car. As for the sequence number difference, it’s a different car with the same options. Could be a computer error that caused 2 cars to have the same options, and of course you know that the cars didn’t come down the line in sequential order.

I was with the OP when he bought the car. I’m a document freak, well aware of sheets from different cars, and multiple sheets for the same car. I can verify the matching VIN numbers with differing sequence numbers, and it’s got me scratching my head.

Both sheets have the same options, it’s the sequence number that doesn’t match.

I understand. That would indicate to me that 2 different cars were made with the exact same options, which is why I say it could be a double print, and they were built in sequence, but not with the concurrent sequence numbers, as the cars did not go down the line in sequential numbers, but could have gone down the line in sequence due to the duplicate options, or order numbers. What are the order numbers of the 2 sheets? Both sales bank? Ordered cars?

The sheets show neither sales bank or Y14 ordered, which makes it more puzzling.

Just how many broadcast sheets can one car have?

 

[Jeff Peterson]

maybe @69Coronetrt could shed some light?

Wouldn't the sequence # be the body in white they build it from? Maybe something happened to the first one, so they grabbed another biw? Was it a special order car?

That's about as odd as the "extra" sheets I found in my car.

However, I think a likely explanation here is an operational error or computer mis program.

---"Hey, Bill...did you run the batch to get todays car builds?"

"I thought I did, but I'll run it again."

How many miles have you driven the car @Bleep Bleep ?

Drive it while the fall weather holds out!

 

[Budnicks]

I found several in different cars, it's not that uncommon
none were identical VINs thou,
maybe (whom ever does the build sheets on that line/for that line)
they f-ed up the 1st one & ran another
for a different time or shift/time (?)

Ha. @DeltaV I’m listening. It was my grocery getter yesterday! I do need to get a longer drive in before the weather turns.

As the parts fly through the air on different carriers, they also have broadcast sheet or build sheets in the event anything gets out of sync and are in need of finding that one car. These build sheets are on parts that are associated to that car only, unlike parts that just make up the car in general and are on all cars.

Hmmm. Ok so for example I understand what you’re suggesting is a parts carrier order could have included some parts needed for my car, but the carrier could have their own relevant build sheet with their specific sequence number (maybe delivery date relevance for the line to know the necessary part was in stock before building my car)?

It’s a low optioned car with no highly unique options though.

Appreciate the thought either way. Helpful to piece together the puzzle.
