The 1970 Build Sheet Decoder is LIVE!!!!

[Cuda Cody]

Not including the background water image, there are 9 (nine) E-Bodies.org references on the decoder sheet.       Good eye finding that one!     

On a side note I like how seamlessly in line 2 you added ebodies.org

Operator error,  , you nailed it, thanks Cody, sorry about the false alarm. I will go stand in the corner now.

I only guessed it because I did the same thing during testing!

I broke it....

[Cuda Cody]

There's always one guy in the group.     We'll, sure does look like you broke it.   

Seriously, it's not broken.     Can you post the sheet you were trying to decode?  Or maybe email it to me?  You really didn't break anything, but it does look like the program had an issue converting the codes to the PDF for you.  I will look in to it.

I broke it....

How this.. Pretty loaded for a 6 cylinder vert

And if someone collects six cylinder E body info.... Heres another..

the loaded /6 Challenger 'vert was a "preferred customer" car ***** Y77 = McCullagh Leasing

Don McCullagh, founder and former president of McCullagh Leasing, became interested in the leasing business when he was a young man in Lansing, Mich. During the early 1930s McCullagh would buy used cars and put them up for sale in his front yard. Then in 1940, he bought his own Chrysler/Plymouth dealership and sold it in 1944 to buy a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. Soon after that, McCullagh's son Jack began working with his father.
They sold the dealership in 1949 and moved to Detroit to purchase a Chevrolet dealership. The following year, they started leasing cars to individuals. At that time, Don McCullagh focused on the Chevrolet dealership while his son concentrated on their leasing endeavor, McCullagh Leasing.
In 1956 they sold the Chevrolet dealership and put all of their energies into McCullagh Leasing.
The company really got off the ground when it signed with Dow Chemical Company in 1957.
McCullagh Leasing was sold to Commercial Credit Company in 1966 and Don McCullagh was named chairman, a title he held until his retirement in 1970.
McCullagh passed away in 1973.

McCullagh's history goes back to 1949 when Don McCullagh decided that there was a profitable market in the Detroit area for leasing individual cars to executives. He had developed this service over a period of several years as owner of a large Chevrolet franchise. After establishing McCullagh Leasing program on a national scale and subsequently added fleet leasing for commercial and industrial organizations. In 1966, he merged his company into the Commercial Credit organization. It was apparent that the two subsidiaries shared common services, yet each one had particular strengths that the other lacked. Furthermore their degrees of market penetration in geographical areas and for product lines tended to supplement rather than duplicate one another.

Apparently McCullagh was doing nationwide leasing?  Cause this car spent most of it's life in California.... I think I still have the original owners Mastercard..... It was inside the drivers door....

What a fantastic program.  This will certainly get hits.  Is it members only, if so expect a big increase.  I did have two unknowns.  line 6 foam seat I have a 65 in my box.  Front bench seat car.  In line 9 sill I have a 7 in my box. Both come up unknown.    This is awesome.  I have a few numbers I can't read due to spring marks but I'm working off a copy and will do this again with the original at home.

First of all, I love it!  That was a major undertaking.
Here are the discrepancies that I found that may help with future revisions:

I got a couple unknowns on Line 4:
      My axle is code "010" which is s 7 1/4" rear end with 2.76 gears
      My frame is code "72" which is stamped on my K-frame. Refer to David Wise #8-3-12

otherwise the rest was 100% correct. Let me know if you need any more info. Chris

Note: I deleted a statement about W11 wheel covers, since I was incorrect about the decoding.

[Cuda Cody]

Thanks so much for all the help guys!  I think you found a couple codes we might be missing.  I'm going to look in to your comments and unknowns after work today.     Together we will make this the best Build Sheet Decoder ever!!!!

[Cuda Cody]

@1 Wild R/T could you please run your sheet again.      I have not do so yet, but can when I get home.  But I think we fixed the error that stopped it from converting to the PDF so you could see it.     

And again.... THANKS!!!!!  It's with everyone's help that we are making this decoder the best it can be.   

I broke it....

My gran coupe was built in LA, No build sheet to be found.

On line 11:
      I have W11. The report shows this as "Wheel Covers Deluxe", but from David Wise #15-5-45 I found it to be "Standard Challenger 14" Wheel Covers".

the wheel covers discrepancy is more semantics (or Dave is wrong ), there are NO STANDARD e-body wheel covers
Chrysler Corp. called most of their W11 wheel covers "DELUXE" as it was the first OPTION above the STANDARD hub caps
