Correct for at least V8 van manual, not sure of others.
WHAT!!!
There is even a paint colour for the tailshaft????
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman
There is on other Holdens
blue tailshaft? honestly. Ive never pulled apart a factory car with a blue tailshaft. Happy to be proven wrong.... My HZ Sandman ute was fairly original. Original motor and (manual) trans, diff. It was black.
My HJ ute has a blue tailshaft beneath all the dirt and oil stains. Factory 253/3-speed, so blue sounds right I guess.

Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
You didn't specify van. GMH called it dark blue for the following tailshaft (out of HQ parts catalogue, but part number is the same for all):
HQ 253/308 ute, van, statesman, wagon
HJ-WB 253 ute, van, statesman wagon.
HJ-WB 308 manual ute, van, wagon.
HZ-WB Statesman with M38 transmission.
HQ-WB 6cyl ute/van with heavy duty diff option.
WB Statesman with trimatic should be the same but it has a different part number and is listed as black.
For some reason WB 6cyl ute or van is also listed as dark blue despite it being different and a different part number?
was it the whole tailshaft or just a dot on the tailshaft? Ive wrecked many many many hq-wb's and as said never noticed it....
