8.75 rear paint details

[mad dog]

im putting the finishing touches on my 8.75 rear and want to add the factory paint daubs and numbers.. i looked at my build sheet under the heading AXL and there is a 3 digit number, is that the number that goes on the axle tube? Also can some one tell me the meaning of the paint stripes under the pumpkin and what color stripes i should add. The car is a 71 Duster with 3:55 pumpkin, any advice that you can add will be a great help. Thanks Rich

The stripes of paint on the center section indicate the gear ratio of the center section. Color and number of stripes.
