Location Of Axle Codes: The axles for Chevrolet will be built by
Chevrolet Buffalo, Chevrolet Gear and Axle, Buick, Oldsmobile, and McKinnon.
Divisional Manufacturer code letters will be metal stamped on the axle tube
adjacent to the carrier for identification. Metal stamp on left rear axle
tube on the rear side, letters and numerals 3/16 in. high, 3 in. outboard
of carrier.
NOTES: The first letter of a two-letter paint code identifies the body
color. The second letter identifies the roof color. (For example,
the combination 51-50 on a Chevrolet would indicate the body finished
in Dusk Blue and the roof area in Dover White.) General Motors paint
code plate for all models except Corvair and Corvette is located
under the hood at the top of the firewall on the left or right of
the upper shroud. Corvair paint code plate is on the left cross-rail
in the engine compartment. Corvette paint code plate is on the instrument
panel brace, below the glove compartment.
