Orange Paint on 8 3/4 Axle Housing Ends - 08/12/22 01:20 AM
Others have posted that the outer ends of 8 3/4 axle housings are bare metal. Of course, all the rest of the housings were painted black.
While cleaning up the 8 3/4 axle housing from my '69 Barracuda, I found remnants of orange paint. Can't tell if the whole outer end was orange, or if just a paint stripe all around, or a paint stripe part way around, or other. See photos.
Any discussion or photos about paint daubs on the outer ends would be appreciated.
