Three stripes are on the driveshaft, approx 12 inches back from the front yoke. Yellow - Green - Yellow, the colors are approx 1/2 inch wide, 3/4 inch apart. I have not seen any other colors on the drive shaft.

JD, still working on finding my file with part numbers, labels, vendors, etc... Then I will fax it or email it to you. I've had Jerry's Deuce in my registry for the last 5 years or so, but never got his trim tag/drivetrain info. Can you get that for me?

JD, I had inspection marks on my 70 396/350 Nova driveshaft and rear end yoke. Mine is a 4 speed car. My driveshaft marks were also a different color.

Hey Pete;
The John Deere colors would actually be ok! The pic I have was actually an accident. I just held the camera on the floor to get an under car shot of the brake cables and exhaust (14k mile deuce) and when I got the pictures developed I saw the driveshaft stripes.

I tried to get another picture of an a/t deuces' shaft stripes a few years later, but the owner wasn't real happy that I had already dug a hole in his stone floor garage to get the codes off the trans - I didn't want to push it, his dog had already bitten me in the wrist when I stepped out of my car [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
