Rear end markings???/
« on: March 11, 2015 - 09:33:26 PM »
Anybody know where I can get the proper color paints to duplicate the markings on the rear diff?  I have pics before it was cleaned and repainted and am now ready to "re mark"

I assume you have an 8 3/4?  Those were usually marked up a LOT.  If you didn't record the markings before hand, it will be impossible to recreate them.  Just because one car has a mark, doesn't mean your car had it too.  The proper way to do it would be to ONLY put back the marks YOU recorded during disassembly.  My housing was too rusted to get any reliable information off of it.  I would have liked to detail it with a bunch of marks but I'd just be guessing.  I was able to soak the center section in EvapoRust and found some markings on that.

Here is the chart for axle identification markings.
