1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Thanks for that explanation! I have the same markings in my 65 Dart wagon!

I have included pictures of the lower control arms. They have different markings for left and right side. My concern was if this is factory markings or if someone has done it after?

I also had a school bus yellow marking in the upper area of the K-frame. What was the meaning? I also found a red marking on the filler plug for the rear end cover plate. What did that paint splot indicate?

Once again, thanks for all the information!

lower and upper control arms had the same type of markings left for left top and botton and the same for right. it should be - for 1 side and | for the other pair. I know that it stopped being done in 67 since they went to a different assembly procedure.

school bus yellow is a part marking =v8. there was yellow, orange and white. I've seen yellow and white but have not seen orange. white was on a 65 dart /6 motor mounts, yellow =v8 motor mounts,most of the paint spots were of varying sizes depending on the parts maker's employee's

you got me on the orange filler plug. I remember seeing them in the dealership but don't remember what it signified
