Topic: 67 Drive shaft part numbers

[ruppstang]

Has anyone seen yellow stenciled part numbers on a 67assembly line drive shaft?  I thought it may have been a service part.
It had a pink and green stripe as well. It was out of a 06-11-67 SJ coupe I6 3spd Manual.

Out of hundreds or more I haven't. Not sure what the supplier of the metal tubes did to identify their product in house did after 66 to replace most markings.

Unfortunately (as you know) the buildsheets don't include color identification marks on the buildsheet that year so I can't cross check the colors that way to see if those match what should have been installed at the plant

The number is 19078-5W. I had it soaking in Evaporust and the number appeared, I thought I would rinse it off and when I did the paint went too.  I am kicking my self for not taking a picture first. It did not rust where the paint bands and numbers were so I still can replace them.

Believe 19078 represents the tubing diameter/base number (same as the 65-66 examples) the 5 W is believed to represent when it was made

Have 5W examples  from spring 65 cars (4Ws from that period also)

With that build date it is doubtful that this is a 67 driveshaft. Is there any other way to tell if it may be a 65 or 66? The U joints have internal snap rings something I have not found on 67s before.

Here are some pictures.

Marty,the transmission end strangely has the internal clips like the 66 driveshafts. Are you sure this is original to the car?

You just confirmed what I had suspected. The 4spd in the car was out of a 66 Fairlane GT I think it was HEH-C. So not a 67 drive shaft, Thanks.
