Title: GT350 Auto Drive shaft details request
Post by: aboss4tg on September 03, 2023, 10:01:45 AM
Working on my 69 GT350 fastback automatic and trying to find photos of the three paint stripe colors that were applied at the factory. Looking at The Coral Snake site they list, CH, LA, WT. Anyone confirm what these colors are?

Guess you missed the search button above since this has been covered in other threads  ;) Remember in searching for topics not to narrow down the search too much. Like one might want to d in this example and include the word "Shelby" since the Mustang shared the same driveline  in this case

https://www.concoursmustang.com/forum/index.php?topic=3121.msg16697#msg16697 (https://www.concoursmustang.com/forum/index.php?topic=3121.msg16697#msg16697)

For you or for others reading this thread there are also a couple of threads on restoring original drive lines/shafts and an article in the Library on that also

Those codes are also listed in an article in the Library under each years section. Look for Paint Marks - The Basics Examples and codes are towards the back of the article. Lavender can sometimes take on a more pinkish look in some original examples.

CH, LA, WT are simply Chartreuse, Lavender, White

TY Jeff. I did try and search but did not put enough details as you mentioned.

Search can be tricky at times so that is the reason I mention it and the words I used to find threads. Don't over look the Library section I know its a ways down on the first page of the site and sometimes gets "lost" to people. :)

Glad we could answer your question
