What is a Dodge build sheet?

A build sheet is the factory's own record of how one specific vehicle was assembled. For a Dodge it lists every sales code — engine, transmission, axle, paint, packages, and options — tied to the VIN.

It's the most reliable way to confirm how a used Charger, Challenger, or Durango was originally configured — far more dependable than a badge or a listing.

What the build sheet shows

Powertrain, trim, exterior and interior colors, wheels, option packages, and dealer-installed-at-factory equipment — the details that explain why two cars with the same model name can feel completely different.

On performance models it separates the genuine hardware — Scat Pack, SRT, Hellcat equipment — from appearance packages that only look the part.

Sales codes explained

Stellantis / FCA vehicles use 3-character factory sales codes on the build sheet. One package code can bundle several smaller features, so reading the sheet carefully tells you what the car actually carries.

Factory data is the baseline, not proof of current condition — wheels, audio, and trim may have changed since delivery, so use the sheet alongside photos and an inspection.

Seller claims it is a factory Widebody—how can I confirm?

WB2 — Identifies the factory wide fender and fascia equipment group on the record. Browse Sales Code codes →

Upgrade fever has fully set in. Found a 2020 Challenger listed as a factory Widebody, and the fenders certainly bulge, but I know conversion kits exist and are getting good. The seller says everything is original and the price assumes it. How can I confirm the Widebody is factory rather than a kit? Is it visible in the VIN decode itself, on the equipment record, or do I need to inspect specific hardware details in person? I would rather be paranoid now than educated later.

Equipment record is your friend: the factory widebody appears as its own group with companion lines for the wheels and suspension pieces that came with it. Kits leave no record trace. In person, factory flares have paint and panel gaps consistent with the body, since they were finished at the plant.

Depending on year and trim the decode itself may reflect it, but the listing is the reliable check. Also compare the wheels: factory widebody wheels are specific sizes, and a kit car often wears something else entirely.

Record shows the group plus matching wheel lines, and the seller had the original sticker showing it as a priced option. Paranoia satisfied, negotiation begins. The SXT may finally get its successor.
