Default Build sheet question

Since my 77 doesn't appear to have been disturbed by previous owners I feel the build sheet may still be on the fuel tank. Is there any access either visual or physical short of removing the body see or retrieve it? including a borescope.

You can sometimes see if it's still on the tank, by moving the rubber boot that's around the fuel filler neck, and looking in with a flashlight.

Your 77 tank sticker is not on your tank. I know because I just retrieved mine last month on my 77. It is on the tank shield. If you go under the car , you will see about 6-10 bolts that hold the cover to the rear of the inside cabin/luggage area. (front of the gas tank)Remove these bolts, then WEARING GLASSES, BECAUSE SOME DIRT WILL FALL. Pry back the shield.(drivers side) It will only go about 3 inches then it hits the tank. As you hold it pryed use a flash light to look up in there on the drivers side. (first two pic's looking straight up, sticker is dropping over from top)You may see it dropped over the shiled from the top. DON'T TRY TO REMOVE IT THIS WAY. It will only tear. Once confirmed then you can go and drop the tank, then unbolt the shield.
