Tail shaft markings

[wbute]

They were coded A through to F according to chassis length and transmission and engine.

i think the dark green ones are 400 turbo and white ones are v8 sdn suit trimatic and manuels

[wbute]

Dark green and red are both turbo hydra matric depending on wheelbase.

Just checked again and the numbers are 457.
The letter looks like B
Will get out the magnifying glass and check

Just checked and it is a E
So E 457
Diff is a GV7
Box is a M20
Motor is a 253

Hope this helps WB ute

I am trying to find more information on tailshaft colour and markings, if anyone can help?

[wbute]

When I get home I will post the info I have out of the HJ service manual. Maybe someone else has it and can post it sooner?

Thanks blocker and WB.
Where I headed to next was to get the colours for each and to decipher the stencil numbering system on the tail shaft, if you could help.
