Driveshaft color codes- 1978 King Cobra, 5.0, 4 speed
« on: May 23, 2023, 03:14:09 PM »
On the assembly line build sheet, I believe code V in the driveshaft box is for violet (or purple).  What color is code C?  Pertains to a 1978 King Cobra, 5.0, 4 speed.

Don't know for sure so this is just a possibility IMHO if Ford continued to use the same names for colors as they did in earlier years.

C may decode as Chartreuse

Being listed twice may suggest two stripes of each but I don't have any pictures of original drivelines from around 78 to confirm that was the practice. Just trying to help

Thank you for the reply. That?s likely it. In my experience, manufacturing techniques and practices with the IIs were more similar to 1st Gen than Fox cars.
