    I belive the rotation # refers to where the car was at on the assembly line. Ford usually build cars in groups with like options. I don't understand why you have different rotation # on your build sheets.

    I have a 68 GT500 and I have not found my build sheet yet. I have the carpet all out but I really have not looked real good under the dash yet.

    I don't think you are really going to figure anything out from a rotation number. I have a seen a group of 20 sheets that came out of GT350. They were consecutively numbered (rotation numbers) but each sheet was for a different car. I have also seen multiple sheets from the same vehicle that had different rotation numbers. Each car probably had at least half a dozen sheets, each with a different rotation sequence number. At best, it is an internal Ford tracking number.

    I thought the sheet with the rotation # on it also had the VIN # on them. Am I right? I know the people on the assembly line would throw stuff in cars as they were going down the line, so it looks liks someone just tossed a bunch on sheets in a car to get rid of them.

    Build sheets do have VIN numbers, in the group of consecutively number sheets, the VINs were NOT in order, scheduled build dates also differed.
