[DEWilson]

OK the car build sheet call for a drive shaft LBLARD CODE C it a 69 NJ built car in April 4spd 351 4v .no ac,ps and no power brake 
 
so light blue , lavender and red marking? what is the C mean? , would anyone have a pic of this color marked shaft.it was gone from the car so i don't have anything to get the correct color shade from for the marking or what style shaft is correct

Not sure of the additional letters that are included in each of these may be the bin, shelf or level number.


Sorry don't have an original example of such a driveline but here are some examples of the three colors. Be warned that due to the changes digital camera make, monitor settings and such what your seeing will likely not be exactly what would be seen in person. Have seen examples of the light blue and lavender which were paler than what appears on my screen. Hope this helps

Yes colors on the build sheet should run (they are listed) front to rear.

Does anyone have pic of the la color or the red

Yes all three are shown above

yes I did see them and one is a pic I posted. I was asking and looking if anyone may also have some pics that they would like to add just to use as a comparison of the colors, to try to make up a good match as close as possible.

not sure if this is what you are looking for.  i also can't promise that it's the original driveshaft.  mine was a 69, Dearborn, 351W 4V, 3-sp.  It has a 4-sp in it now, so not sure if that would have caused someone to swap it.  maybe jeff can confirm.

  thank for the pc would-ed think that they had to change out the shaft from 3sp and 4sp use the same length shaft ,is that a one piece shaft or a two piece was the first strip light blue

BuckeyeDemon  thanks for the picture

Looks like (left to right red, lavender, white - last one out of the picture)   Guess (you would be the best one to know since digital settings can change everything) that the white could be light blue if you could confirm. If so that would match the buildsheet for the 3 speed. Could not find a copy of a 4 speed one in my files


Is it from this car??

VIN: 9F02M178303   - Build Date: July 31, 1969
1969 Mach 1   -    351W 4V

it's a very light blue and it is from the car you have listed.  with the exception of my mistake. build date should be 3/31/69 per the invoice.

i like how the paint appeared to have nice runs...

there were a few more marks on it.
