Build Sheet Info
Just got my Build Sheet on my 04! 
But I don't understand "half" of it!
I know the RPO codes, etc... But what the heck is a RR Body Harness 411 ?? Or a "PCM YFYY" ?? Or a "Bumper Height YAA"??
Just curious--I presume it's "robotic talk" to meet GM Design Specs, but do any of you know of a thread which deciphers the build sheets?
Thanks!

Years ago I asked a similar question about some of the things listed on my car. The answer I got was that the build sheets include items that are is of very little interest to most folks, but are either required by federal statues, or significant to the assemblers/suppliers. For example, the PCM (Pollution Control Module) may be vehicle specific due to size, shape, or some other spec. The Feds just want to be sure the car came equipped with it. The suppliers need to know how many are being used of what type. And we as owners probably couldn't care less.
Outside of Corvette fanatics, very few people give a hoot about our build sheets.

Not sure of this, but why not contact Adam Boca at the NCM and see if he can shed some light on what all the codes mean.

Everything on the sheet is just what it says, build codes for the assmeblers to put the car together and nothing more.

Cars destined for export have different components...
Canada has different front and rear crash standards hence different parts behind the front and rear fascia.
Some parts of Europe require amber side markers and turn signals.
