BROADCAST SHEET DECODER 1970 DODGE CHARGER (XH29)
The broadcast sheet is the build sheet that was printed at the factory and used by the assembly line workers to build the Charger. It tells them all the options to throw on the car as it moves down the assembly line.
NOTE: If you have not yet registered your 70 Charger with the 70 Charger Registry please do so as it helps us build the data required to provide 70 Charger owners with this type of information. If you have your broadcast sheet, or one that belongs to another 70 Charger, again, please send the 70 Charger Registry a copy. The 1970 Dodge Charger broadcast sheet will have the following heading at the very top of the sheet: CHRYSLER CORPORATION CAR PRODUCTION BROADCAST F SERIES 1970 To decode the broadcast sheet we will start with line 1 at the top working left to right across the sheet and then down line by line through line 11 at the bottom and then into the REMARKS section. Lets begin
. LINE 1 BASIC CAR
This number was used by the St. Louis Chrysler Assembly Plant staff as an in-house method of tracking the vehicle at the plant, and through the assembly process. It may begin with the letter B or the letter C. To date there is no determination on when or why the plant would use the letter B versus the letter C. The Sequence Number, in of itself, is of no clear use to you the owner. VEHICLE ORDER NUMBER: This box is divided into two sections. The first three characters represent the build or production date of the car. This is the date the car was actually built at the assembly plant. The production year for the 1970 Charger began in 8=August 1969 01-31 ** Note: Last build date was The next six characters indentify the vehicle order number. This number is simply assigned to the original order sheet. Sometimes it is preceded by a letter, such as C, E, K, M, Q or T. To date we have not been able to determine any rhyme or reason for the sequence of these numbers however the use of the letters has been proven to be as follows:
C= Canadian Car E= Export Car K= Special Order (Y39) M0= Car Was Built For Show (only seen on early built cars) M9= Car Came With Factory Sunroof (M51) Q= Executive Lease (Y22) or Public Relations (Y28) T= CLC Lease Car (Y24)
Note: It is possible that when a car qualifiesfor multiple designations, one will trump the others. The only documented example of this to date is a Y28 Public Relations car that also came equipped with a factory sunroof (M51) and the car could have been designated with an M or Q, in this case M was used, thereby trumping the use of Q.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: This is the full VIN of the car which is broken out in six sections. Car Line: For 1970 Chargers this will always be XH which means it is a base level Charger. Body Type: This will always be 29 which means Sport Top. Eng: This denotes the engine the car came with. The applicable codes here would be: C= 225 Six Cylinder G = 318 cid 2bbl L = 383 cid 2bbl N = 383 cid 4bbl Year: For 1970 Chargers this will always be 0 (zero) which is the last digit of the model year. Plant: This denotes which assembly plant built the car. Since all 1970 Chargers were built exclusively at the St. Louis Assembly Plant this would always be G. Sequential Number: This is the build sequence number at the Y VEHICLE DELIVERY AND HANDLING Y: This section consists of option codes that reflect what specifications/markets the car was built for and special handling scenarios if applicable. You will note the heading has a Y designation. This means the option codes that appear in each box is automatically preceded by a Y. There are seven boxes in this section each with a unique meaning. Build To Spec For 0-: This code determines what specifications/market the car was built for. The applicable codes here would be: Y05 Built to Y07 Built to Y09 Built for Export Specifications Dom. Public 11: This box (option code Y11) identifies if the car was a Domestic Publications Military Sales Order. This would be denoted with a value of 1. Lease Bid Y13 Charger DEMO Y28 Company Car / Public Relations Sold Car Sales Bank 1-: This code indicates whether the car was built for a customer order, or was part of a sales bank pre-determined order by the company that was shipped to dealers for sales on their dealer lots. To clarify, a customer order means a customer sat down with a dealer and completed an order form outlining exactly what options the customer wanted his/her car to be build with. A sales bank car is one that was delivered to the dealer and a customer would buy the car off the lot
.in that scenario someone within Chrysler decided what options to build the car with, likely based on marketing data, and the customer had no hand in that process. The applicable codes here would be: Y12 Dealer Export Sale (dealer order for export) Y14 Sold Car Order (customer order) Y16 Sales Bank Order Special Order 39: This code (option code Y39)identifies if the car was designated as a special order. This would be typically for show cars, road tests and the like where the car was designated for extra care in the assembly process to ensure the highest vehicle quality and fit and finish. A value of 9 in the box means this was a Special Order car and would be extremely rare. New Car Service 8-: This code would designate if the car was given special service, such as gasoline and prep before delivery. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code here. Show Car Finish 9-: This code would designate if the car was given special care and attention when they applied the paint/finish. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code here. LINE 2 BASIC CAR This code identifies the engine the car came with. You must add the E in front of whatever code is present in the box to determine the engine option code. The applicable codes here would be: E44 318 2bbl E61 383 2bbl E63 383 4bbl D TRANS: This code identifies the transmission the car came with. You must add the D in front of whatever code is present in the box to determine the transmission option code. The applicable codes here would be: D21 4 Speed Transmission D31 Automatic Transmission 904 D32 Automatic Transmission 727 D41 CLU: This code (option code D41) identifies if the car was ordered with a heavy-duty clutch. In this case a 1 would appear in the box. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code here. D AXLE: This code identifies what axle the car came with. You must add the D in front of whatever code is present in the box to determine the axle option code. The applicable codes here would be: D51 8.25 Axle 2.76:1 Ratio D52 8.25 Axle 2.94:1 Ratio D53 8.75 Axle 3.23:1 Ratio D57 8.75 Axle 3.91:1 Ratio D91 S/G: This code (option code D91) identifies if the car came with a Sure Grip differential. In this case a 1 would appear in the box if D91 Sure Grip was a factory option. T-U-W TIRES: This three character code identifies the type of tires the car came with from the factory. The applicable codes here would be: T34 - F78x14 WSW Tires T35 - F78x14 BSW Tires T45 - G78x14 BSW Tires T46 - G78x14 WSW Tires T87 - F70x14 Raised White Lettering Polyglas W 0-: This code indicates if the spare tire was deleted or if a regular spare was requested. Since 70 Chargers came standard with a spare tire the latter instance is not applicable and would never be reflected here. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a delete spare code here, however if the spare was deleted the code W07 would appear and would be reflected by a 7 in the box. W 3-: This code (option code W34) indicates if the car was ordered with a spacesaver spare tire as an option. If this was an option ordered, this would be reflected by a 4 in the box. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code here. TRIM CODE: This code identifies what interior trim came on the car, that being, the type of seats, material and color. The applicable codes here would be: C2B5 = Blue Vinyl Bench C2F8 = Green Vinyl Bench C2K4 = Burnt C2T5 = Tan Vinyl Bench C2XA = Charcoal & Black Vinyl Bench C2XW = White Vinyl Bench UDF COLOR: This code identifies the Upper Door Frame paint color. This is the paint they applied to the inner door panel so it matches or accents the interior trim colors. The options in this field will be one of the following: EB5 = Bright Blue EF8 = Dark Green EW1 = White FK5 = Burnt FT6 = Tan TX9 = Black PAINT STYLE: This code identifies if the car came with a single tone paint job, or a two tone paint job. All 1970 Chargers came only with a single tone paint job so the code in this box will usually be V01. We have documented one car with the "999" Special Order Paint that had the V09 code designated special paint. BODY PAINT: This code identifies the paint color the car came with. The options in this field will be one of the following: 999 = Special Order Paint (rare) BL1 = Beige DY3 = Cream EB3 = Light Blue Metallic EB5 = Bright Blue Metallic EB7 = Dark Blue Metallic EF8 = Dark Green Metallic EK2 = Go Mango EV2 = Hemi Orange EW1 = White FC7 = Plum Crazy FE5 = Medium Red FF4 = Light Green Metallic FJ5 = Sublime FJ6 = Green Go FK5 = Dark Burnt FM3 = Panther Pink FT6 = Dark Tan Metallic FY1 = Top Banana FY4 = Light Gold Metallic TX9 = Black ROOF-PAINT STYLE TOP: This code identifies the roof color or if the car had a vinyl roof. If the car was not ordered with a vinyl roof then the car would have the same color roof paint as the body paint (see above). The options in this field will be one of the following: 999 = Special Order Paint (rare) BL1 = Beige Paint DY3 = Cream Paint EB3 = Light Blue Metallic Paint EB5 = Bright Blue Metallic Paint EB7 = Dark Blue Metallic Paint EF8 = Dark Green Metallic Paint EK2 = Go Mango Paint EV2 = Hemi Orange Paint EW1 = White Paint FC7 = Plum Crazy Paint FE5 = Medium Red Paint FF4 = Light Green Metallic Paint FJ5 = Sublime Paint FJ6 = Green Go Paint FK5 = Dark Burnt FM3 = Panther Pink Paint FT6 = Dark Tan Metallic Paint FY1 = Top Banana Paint FY4 = Light Gold Metallic Paint TX9 = Black Paint V1F = Green Vinyl Roof V1G = Black Gator Grain Vinyl Roof V1W = White Vinyl Roof V1X = Black Vinyl Roof V2-: Here you will see three boxes all with the heading V2-. On a 70 Charger there would never be an instance where all three boxes are populated with a code. Typically these are blank unless your car came with the performance hood treatment option (V21 Performance Hood Paint Treatment). This would be denoted by a 1 in the box. This is the flat black paint applied in each of the hood scallops that runs up unto the cowl up to the windshield. Y MISC.: This code is for miscellaneous option codes that begin with a Y. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code here. LINE 3 BUILD CODES STEERING COLUMN: This code provides build information related to the steering column and is broken out into 3 unique sections.

On 70 Chargers the vinyl roof was not standard equipment, but rather an option, thus the vinyl roof would never be deleted and this box should always be empty. V: Next you will see two boxes marked with the heading V. If a number is in the box you simply add the V to the front of it to determine the full option code. To date we have seen no 70 Chargers with a code in either of these V boxes. V 5-: This code is designated to identify the color of body side moldings on the car. Since 70 Chargers did not come with body side molding this box will always be empty. V STRIPE: This code will identify what stripe the car came with. As you can see there are 2 boxes, the second box is always empty, only the first box will have characters if applicable. Since stripes were not an option on 70 Chargers this box will always be empty.
