Rear leaf spring ID is a orange stripe about one inch wide on the rear portion of the bottom leaf spring. This info and more is available at    http://www.thecoralsnake.com/

For the rear springs we would need to know your body type since the factory build sheets show Brown while the convertible shows Orange. Guess the Brown could be mistaken as orange in some of the examples of original markings on 68 rear springs I have.




As for driveline the colors are below taken from a 68 GT350 4 speed. In this case the body style does not make a difference nor does the transmission type or when, during the production year, either

I think it shows the abbreviations for the coding in the article in the Library titled Paint Marks the Basics or something like that. Works out to be

Light Blue - Dark Blue - Pink







Hope this helps

Dead Nuts On can sell you a reproduction drive shaft with the correct color stripes. They are reasonable and I highly recommend them. [size=78%]1967-69 FORD Concours Driveshaft Restoration Service - Dead Nuts On[/size]
