Here is a photos of Chad's (then owned) survivor Yenko Chevelle M21, KQ coded rear and his shaft had these colors. They appeared to be yellow/aqua/yellow or orange. Using this as a guide as well as several other people who provided original survivor photos we painted out shaft.

Rick...having been a big fan of cars that you have restored for many years now I know that when you finish this Chevelle it will be absolutely spectacular! Is you goal still to have the car finished and unveiled at MCACN in 2019?

On a side note....I would love to see pictures of the 70 Z28 that you say you are restoring now when it is finished. You can send me pics directly, pm me for my email address.
Me too!

However, this is a photos of Chad's (then owned) survivor Yenko Chevelle M21, KQ coded rear and his shaft had these colors. They appeared to be yellow/aqua/yellow or orange so that is what I went by. If anyone else can provide visual proof of what they should be it would be much appreciated.

Sure its not white, aqua and orange? The colors on the green L78 Camaro were white, green and orange.

I know this is Camaro info but "might" be of some use.. Maybe not.

Excellent work btw. Look forward to seeing more of it. :biggthumpup:

Thanks for the help Darrell but no, the Camaro is definitely different and just a coincidence. I have now received a few photos of survivor shafts and it indeed appears that it was yellow, green, orange so time to fix it.

I am so happy you found this 1969 COPO Yenko Chevelle!!

I am confident that this whole process is 85% more fun just based on the car being a 1969 vs 1970 :-)

Some guys like 1970’s.... but for me...... you hit the jackpot of all jackpots!!!

Rick, I was lost on shaft color codes and then stumbled on a couple sites that spelled out blue/yellow for an L78 shaft with manual (69). Does the COPO use a different u-joint?

SS427 12-17-2018 11:23 PM
No, there is nothing unique to the driveshaft or U-joints for a COPO.

I have seen the prop shaft color in box 19 listed on at least 10 or so 69 BAL build sheets as BY, for. L78 and L72, also believe Same shaft was used for all BBC with manual trans. There was nothing different on COPO Cars.
Still trying to confirm for sure, but believe BY is black yellow ?
Color codes were not consistent among Chevelle plants.
If anyone has a 69 BAL BS from ANY car like SBC, that lists a color in box 19, I would like to see if any used BU for blue ? Kind of guessing here.
Thanks for any input for BAL built cars.

Mike
