Hi Guys,
Does anyone by chance have pictures of the driveshaft paint colours and markings for a 1969 mustang 390cid with a C6 transmission?

Thanks

First welcome to the site. Hope you find the information and support helpful in your restoration project(s)

When was the car built?


You might find it helpful (most here do) to add your cars information (when and where the car was built) as all or part of your signature. Going to get asked that allot as we try and focus answers and discussions as close as possible to try and rule out running and production changes over time


Checked my copies and only came up with 4 speed examples and other years won't do -  Sorry. Maybe someone else has a matching one

End yokes would have been marked with orange before they were machined or  welded to the tube

The car build date was June 23 1969 Attached pictures show faint paint colours on the original driveshaft.

Looks like stripes of white and red or orange. So missing one.

How close is the red or orange stripe to the paint found on the yoke you pictured. Will leave this to you since you are present with the items and digital pictures so often don't represent true colors
