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).

A reader can use this sheet to translate the option codes found on their car's build sheet into plain-language equipment descriptions.
