Default Re: Paint spot on leaf leaf springs (yellow Yenko)

I would also like to see an original car (Nova) with these types of markings, I have only seen Fords with these 'location' markings. I have seen many unrestored Novas, some with as low as 5k and 6k miles on them, and never seen any paint markings on them - only the spring tags which were installed in front of the axle. The springs would have had the front bushing already pressed in when they were installed into the rear housing. So, wouldn't that be enough of an indication of which end went where? I'm just speculating, but why spend the extra time placing a paint mark where there is already a noticeable difference?

Personally, I have seen the blue (torqued) and white (inspected) markings on the front suspension, and cylinder heads (under the orange paint, white 'X's on each end, blue on the bolts). Has anyone seen these colors used elsewhere?
