Does anyone know what the correct color codes are for a big block, 4 speed drive shaft. I have seen pictures of paint stripes on drive shafts, and I looked at the drive shaft I have, through all the rust, I can not find any color codes. No literature I have seen denotes colors. The build sheet for the Green Hornet, which was an original S code, C6 auto, shows BluBluRd, Two Blue stripes, One Red. Any thoughts. Mike

My 68 390 4spd. fastback had the following lt blue, dk blue, white. This was documented off my original drive shaft. The light blue stripe was approximately 1/2 in wide 21 inches from the front. Dark blue 1 in wide 23 inches from the front, and white 1/2 in stripe 26 3/4 in from the front.
