1965 Dodge Dart Charger

All of the plants bought these grease pencils, or paint daubers or whatever other sort of marking device they used by the case lot from the cheapest vendor. And when they went to general stores to req them out to use, if G.S. didn't have a particular colour, they'd use whatever was on hand.

I don't think in any of the chassis graphics books I've ever seen there's a callout for a torque I.D. mark to be a specific colour. Those marks are all a visual confirmation for a quality control check.

There's a slim possibility that the colour changed with the shift, or an even more remote chance the colour was specific to an individual operator. Inspection stamps are may have been specific to the inspector using them, but that's as close as you'd come to tying a specific mark to a specific individual.

Thanks for the updates. I will go through some old documents with splots. I think I have late 60ies!

When I continued in the Wheel department I had my luck today. A ruyst free rim with the date code M4. That indicates December of 1964. So I started to glass bead the darn thing but my glass is almost like baking powder!!!

Tomorrow I will get a new bag of glass to continue glass beading. I think this rim will do good with right primer and the right black face. Then I will add the 7.00 x 13 white wall even if it's used. I I ran into another tires I can always change.
