Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

Both sections of the rear seat usually have a sheet, they are less likely to be found in the front seats for some reason.

Like others have said, the M20 designation is only for a 'manual' trans so that a hole is punched in the floor. The deuces were all M21 cars, but every sheet has an M20 on it - the two canadian copo Novas are still in question, they might have actually come with an M20 but we aren't sure.

Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

Typically they were attached to each seat piece. The back of the rear seat, bottom of the rear seat, and the bottom of the front seat.

However the gold custom cloth gold seats in my wife's Nova did not have any.

Bucket seats may have one in each behind the back covers.

I guess there could have been up to four in bucket seat cars three in the bench seat cars.

My silver car had three cards. Two matched and one was from the second car ahead.

Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

I had the front seat out tonight, didn't find a darn thing, unless it's hidden inside the seat some where. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif But nothing around the bottom springs. I talked to the previous owner tonight, he said the front seat was out at one time for a repair. But never found anything himself, unless the repair shop ripped it off & threw it out.

I did find the front & rear carpet part number tags with dates & stuff. So not all was a loss tonight. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Thanks for the help guys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

The rear seats usually have the sheets wrapped around the seat frame - frequently requiring a hog ring removal or two. Sometimes they are almost completely hidden under the burlap, cotton and seat cover/frame. Don't factor out the mice either, they will put that sheet in a thousand pieces as they build a nest - although I've been able to pull pieces out of a nest and fill in some gaps.

Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

Greg.....On the Fisher broadcast seat sheets in 1969, I have noticed a few of these over the years with the L78 but have never seen one with L34. Did Fisher Body use this as the generic code for the car having a BB like using the M20 for the manual transmission? Also was the L78 listed solely for the purpose of the heater box differences? I owned a 1969 Nova SS that had L48 and N10 on its seat sheet. I also always wondered what become of all the Fisher body records and why they would not be a viable source of info instead of trying to convince Chevrolet to dig up all their records like Jim M. was trying to accomplish.

Re: Broadcast sheet question
 

I'm sure Greg will chime in, but I doubt very much that the L78 on 69 Fisher Body sheets was a generic code for the BB application...I will go thru my Nova archives and see what I can find. I have never seen a build sheet that listed L78 that wasn't an L78 car...they made a lot fewer L34 cars in 1969 compared to the L78....L78's seem to be a lot more common.

Tom....I can agree with that. I just never seen a 1969 L34 seat sheet. I wonder why Fisher body would have a reason to differentiate a L48, L34 and L78 as they were putting a Body and Interior together. I know their role had something to do with the heater box installation which may explain needing to know if the car being built will be a BB, Dual exhaust taping plates, But I would think N10 would cover that even on a L65 ordered with dual exhaust. I always thought Chevrolet took care of the Sub Frame and engine stands. Another item of interest is the ZL3 SS conversion. If the car has the L48, L34 and L78 would that not tell Fisher body the car will be an SS so they can drill or punch out the holes for the rear tail panel. Just thirsty for more knowledge on the Nova broadcast sheets. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Have you ever seen a 15000 mile green on green 72 4sp Nova in that area? I heard it wound up in down there. I use to own it I have a LOT of paperwork for it including 2 color chasis broadcast sheets. m
