Thanks for the info! I will continue on the red paint splot. Info must be somewhere!

I took a Picture of the paint marks on the rear end.The lower code is the gear ration 3,23. But was does that White retangular paint mark indicate? There is also a dark blue tab the the upper right corner of the rear axle above the area where brake line goes. Not sure what it stands for! Any ideas?

On the picture you can also see the red front ends on the parking brake wires. What's the red paint indicating? Special precautions due brakes?

I got a package from US with the nuts for the quarter panel letters. After some work getting loose the old sealer they can be removed the the "new" ones. Looks like stock! The ones to the right is the replacement ones! Close but will do the job!

More guesses: I'll go with `open' or `Sure-Grip' differential for the white mark and "torqued" for the yoke nut with the blue. But your marks are WAY too neat for an assembly line axle ! Remember everybody on the line had multiple things to do during each assembly line cycle, and putting those paint marks on was just one of many. Probably the last thing the operator did before the line cycled and the axle was gone. A quick grab for the paint dauber, hit the axle and put it back to move on to the next job.

I think red was Chrysler's internal marking for safety related items. That's why you see red on some of the fuel line fittings as well.
