Sanding down the pitting on a '68 Plymouth driveshaft, I found what appears to be 2 stripes. They run around the shaft, 22" & 25" from the rear end of the tube, and are about 3/4" wide, brushed on, appear to have been white. I've seen this on Fords, but in 40+ years don't recall it on a Mopar. And these are not as "nice" as the Ford ones. The car itself is low-mileage, though it's having its 52nd birthday next month. I can't think of a reason for them unless everyone has missed that, which is unlikely, given the talent. The rest of the car is #s & codes, shaft looks legit, but I'm mystified.

I had two stripes on my original T/A driveshaft.

That's Troy's T/A. I bought it from him about 10 years ago.
