Quote: Why did chrysler put a rolled up broadcast sheet that you can not read on the back of a glove box taped on.
It was used as a check list, it was in plain view to the folks assembling the dash assembly.
From it, they knew what color dash pad, reverse light or not, wiring harness for std. cluster or rallye cluster, & so on, even what VIN number to apply.
The back of the glovebox liner provided a clipboard of sorts, the broadcast sheet there almost always has items of importance to the dash assembly circled & / or checked off.
Were the dashes built as an assembly with the dash pad, VIN tag, instrument cluster, radio, ash tray, glove box, trim, etc. and then installed as they do now? This would be a reason for "tagging" them with a broadcast sheet as they were being done off to the side or a completely separate area. This would help to insure the correct VIN/dash matched up with the body too. And there was no windshield before the dash was bolted in to paste the big broadcast sheet on at that point.
