BROADCAST SHEET DECODER 1970 DODGE CHARGER R/T (XS29) The information below is only data that has been proven to exist on 70 Charger R/T broadcast sheets based on the data in the 70 Charger Registry Database. As more broadcast sheets are received and new information/codes are identified they will be incorporated into this list.
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, the letter C or the letter "Q". 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 August 1, 1969 and ran to July 10, 1970. The production date code is 3 digits and includes a factory identifier for the month (1 digit) followed by the day of that month (2 digits). The possible codes are: 8=August 1969 01-31 ** Note: Last build date was July 10, 1970
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 Charger R/Ts this will always be XS which means it is a Charger R/T. 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: R = 426 cid HEMI 2x4bbl U = 440 cid 4bbl V = 440 cid Six Pack 3x2bbl 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: Identified by a value of "1" in this box. This code would designate a Military Sales Order. The car would also be designated as a Y09 Export order. Lease Bid Y11- Military Sales Order Y13- Charger Demo (for use as a demonstrator) Y22 - Corporate Lease Car - Executive 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 Charger R/Ts 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 Charger R/Ts 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: E74 426 Hemi (2 x 4bbl) E86 440 4bbl E87 440 Six Pack (3 x 2bbl) 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 D32 Automatic Transmission 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, however because 70 Charger R/T 4-Speed cars came with the heavy-duty clutch as standard equipment this box will always be blank. 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: D53 8.75 Axle 3.23:1 Ratio D56 8.75 Axle 3.55:1 Ratio (Automatic) or Dana 60 Axle 3.54:1 Ratio (4-Speed) D58 Dana 60 Axle 4.10:1 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: T86 - F70x14 White Side Wall T87 - F70x14 Raised White Lettering Polyglas U84 - F60x15 Raised White Lettering Polyglas GT W 0-: This code indicates if the spare tire was deleted or if a regular spare was requested. Since 70 Charger R/Ts 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 Charger R/Ts 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 Charger R/Ts 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: C5XA = Charcoal & Black Cloth Buckets C6B5 = Blue Vinyl Buckets C6F8 = Green Vinyl Buckets C6K4 = Burnt C6T5 = Tan Vinyl Buckets C6XA = Charcoal & Black Vinyl Buckets C6XW = White Vinyl Buckets CRB5 = Blue Leather Buckets * CRF8 = Green Leather Buckets * CRT5 = Tan Leather Buckets * CRXA = Charcoal & Black Leather Buckets * * Only available on cars with the A47 Special Edition option 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 one of two performance hood treatment options. The applicable codes here would be: V21 Performance Hood Paint Treatment (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. V24 Performance Hood Paint Treatment With CID Call Outs (denoted by a 4 in the box). Again, this is the flat black paint applied in each of the hood scallops that runs up unto the cowl up to the windshield and features silver 440 or HEMI engine call outs in the scallops. Y MISC.: This code is for miscellaneous option codes that begin with a Y. To date we have seen no 70 Charger R/Ts 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. The first 3 characters identify the basic column type and the applicable codes here would be: 315 - 4 SPEED FLOOR SHIFT B-BODY STEERING COLUMN 351 - AUTO TRANS COLUMN SHIFT B-BODY STEERING COLUMN 355 - AUTO TRANS FLOOR SHIFT B-BODY STEERING COLUMN The next 2 characters identify the color of the steering column and the applicable codes here would be: B7 - MEDIUM BLUE STEERING COLUMN F8 - BAYOU GREEN STEERING COLUMN K5 BURNT T4 TAN STEERING COLUMN X9 - BLACK STEERING COLUMN The last 4 characters identify the option configuration of the steering column and the applicable codes here would be: 1000 - MANUAL STEERING COLUMN 1005 - MANUAL STEERING IGNITION LIGHT WITH TIME DELAY STEERING COLUMN 7000 - POWER STEERING COLUMN 7005 - POWER STEERING IGNITION LIGHT WITH TIME DELAY STEERING COLUMN 7085 - POWER STEERING IGNITION LIGHT WITH TIME DELAY AUTO SPEED CONTROL STEERING COLUMN STEERING WHEEL: This code provides build information on the steering wheel and is broken out into two unique sections. The first 2 characters identify the type of steering wheel and the applicable codes here would be: 08 - PARTIAL HORN RING (OPTION S79) STEERING WHEEL 10 - RIM BLO (OPTION S83) STEERING WHEEL 16 - WOODGRAIN SPORT (OPTION S81) STEERING WHEEL The last 2 characters identify the color of the steering wheel and the applicable codes here would be: B7 - LIGHT DARK BLUE STEERING WHEEL F8 - DARK GREEN STEERING WHEEL K5 BURNT TT - WOODGRAIN STEERING WHEEL T4 TAN STEERING WHEEL T5 MEDIUM TAN STEERING WHEEL X9 - BLACK STEERING WHEEL HORN PAD: This code provides build information on the horn pad on the steering wheel and is broken out into two unique sections. The first 2 characters identify the type of horn pad and the applicable codes here would be: 11 - RIM SWITCH HORN PAD 43 - PARTIAL RING HORN PAD 47 - CAP HORN PAD The last 2 characters identify the color of the horn pad and the applicable codes here would be: B7 - LIGHT DARK BLUE HORN PAD F8 - DARK GREEN HORN PAD K5 BURNT T4 TAN HORN PAD T5 MEDIUM TAN HORN PAD X9 - BLACK HORN PAD RAD: This code identifies the radiator and the applicable codes here would be: 56 - 26" CORE RADIATOR PN2998956 MAX COOL 60 - 22" CORE RADIATOR PN2998960 61 - 26" CORE RADIATOR PN2998961 INLET HOSE: This code identifies which radiator inlet hose was used on the car and the applicable codes here would be: 14 - PN3462114 RADIATOR INLET HOSE 57 - PN2863257 RADIATOR INLET HOSE 86 PN3462186 RADIATOR INLET HOSE ALT: This code identifies which alternator was used on the car and the applicable codes here would be: 72 - 37 AMP SINGLE PULLEY ALTERNATOR PN3438172 76 - 37 AMP DUAL PULLEY ALTERNATOR PN3438176 77 - 50 AMP DUAL PULLEY ALTERNATOR PN3438177 78 - 50 AMP SINGLE PULLEY ALTERNATOR PN3438378 FAN: This code identifies which radiator fan was used on the car and the applicable codes here would be: 16 - 7 BLADE PN2863216 23 - 7 BLADE PN2863223 24 - 7 BLADE PN2863224 FAN SPA: This code identifies which spacer was used on the radiator fan as well as the use of thermal or torque drive clutch units (if applicable) and the applicable codes here would be: 56 - 59 - 1.06" FAN SPACER PN1851959 WITH 70 - TORQUE FAN DRIVE PN2806070 BAT: This code identifies which battery was used on the car and the applicable codes here would be: 69 - 70 AMP V 08: This option code V08 identifies if the vinyl roof was deleted. 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 Charger R/Ts 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. The applicable codes here would be: V68 = Longitudinal Tape Stripe Delete V6B = Light Blue Longitudinal Tape Stripe V6F = Green Longitudinal Tape Stripe V6R = Red Longitudinal Tape Stripe V6W = White Longitudinal Tape Stripe V6X = Black Longitudinal Tape Stripe V8B = Light Blue Bumblebee Tape Stripe V8F = Green Bumblebee Tape Stripe V8R = Red Bumblebee Tape Stripe V8W = White Bumblebee Tape Stripe V8X = Black Bumblebee Tape Stripe LINE 4 BUILD CODES VAC FIT: This code identifies which power brake vacuum fitting was used on the car.
