This document is the reverse side (backer) of a Chrysler Corporation broadcast/build sheet, form number 83-100-0140, marked REV. 6-77. It is a comprehensive legend of factory sales/option codes used to decode the punched or printed codes on a build sheet for a late-1970s Dodge (references to Dodge Monaco 'SS', Road Runner/R&T, LeBaron export, and 'Magnum' appear in the list). The codes run alphabetically from A01 through Z37 and cover: option packages (A-codes), brakes (B), interior/seating (C), transmissions and axle ratios (D), engines from the 1.7-litre 4-cylinder through 225 slant six, 318, 360, 400 and 440 V8s (E), alternators/batteries/misc hardware (F), glass and mirrors (G), heating/AC (H), instruments and accessories (J), stripes and moldings (K, M), lamps (L), emissions and engine equipment (N), power accessories (P), radios/antennas (R), suspension and steering (S), 13/14/15-inch tire options (T, U), paint and vinyl roofs (V), wheels and covers (W), export codes (X), scheduling/delivery codes (Y), and special-equipment weight adjustment codes (Z). A reader can use this sheet to translate the option codes found on their car's build sheet into plain-language equipment descriptions.
