1970 cuda build sheet read out

[gf7cuda]

Do they have a 1971 build sheet decoder?

 

[Cuda Hunter]

I don't think so, but not a lot changes between 71 and 70.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Correct. The 1970 E-Body decoder took a major amount of programming to create.
A 1971 decoder would be nice.
Use the 70 decoder and modify the PDF items that do not match up after you get them.
Change the date, etc. and you have what you need.

That sure is a lot of work that Cody put into that decoder system.
Quite the resource that he has made available to all of us!
Very appreciative!

power brake booster
manual steering box
tail panel chrome trim in place
hood pins are there
torque box's

the person says it was in accident and sheet metal was replaced - would be why she has no fender tag- no screw holes in inner fender -

 

[440WB]

most likely the parts changed inner fender with fender, driver door, the full firewall with upper cowl and radiator support ( front frame ? ) might be why dash with all is now regular ???

with the whole body repaint ???
Insurance job???

person says car has been in the family for 40 years - they are second owner.

stamping numbers probably stamped from auto repair center - they are not very deep - one digit is off - out of line

 

[440WB]

Radio

Your car came with the R11 AM Radio which has chrome buttons as below.

The radio in your picture is not a 1970 radio. The 1970 R35 AM/FM is a thumbwheel radio with chrome buttons. The radio in your picture is from a later model E-body with the R35 AM/FM radio option. Black pushbuttons were not used in 1970. Later models did use the black pushbuttons.

The rear seats, door panels, and window trim should look like the below on a 1970 Cuda H6XW interior.
