Jeff had mentioned that he had some build sheets for low to no option 289 cars and they show shocks front and rear as red. So in your opinion where the shocks typically marked in sets at all four corners the same? Meaning if rear shocks are say white than fronts would also be white. Red with red and brown with brown. It would seems to make sense since it would be easier to do on the line.
Is not about ease since the printer does not care if it prints the two sets of boxes with the same or completely different set of letters. As far as installing the guy that did the front shocks was a different person than did the rears from my understanding
As far as "typically" I would say that the majority of all cars all years (for the years were discussing making the Mustang) they were both the same - front and back
I know in 70 it was not dome that way because i have a build sheet which shows orange front and I believe white on the rear (not actual because i don't have the sheet in front of me). But different none the less. I see that by 70 the build sheets were much more color coded than previous ones which were more part number oriented.
Have to disagree - by 70 its just as typical to find the majority of the shock color codes to match front and back. Your likely looking at a CJ 4 speed or a Boss car - not really the typical of the majority in 70 Mustangs
Early there are basically codes, then they started to use engineering numbers and colors, then more color codes, then (by 71-73) back to single digit codes for more of the information. So like everything - its just change, change, change
