Yes, that is it.  I removed the extra image and the blank attachment.  Does it look like there is a C before the BU ?  Can you very carefully wipe that area off with some lacquer thinner. 

Do you know the casting date on the center section?  I will look something like this attached image.

And we have a thread going at this link on casting date, casting number and stamped information on axle housings.  If you want you can post your axle data there.

Oh, and the more I look at that car, the more I like it.  I think Lemans Blue is my favorite color. 

And as far as finding correctly dated parts for what has been changed.  Sure, go ahead and do that if you want.  But the car is awesome the way it is, and putting the original stuff back won't make it run any faster.  ENJOY!

Going back to the axle comment regarding the C before the BU... I would assume that some were stamped with the C and others not for whatever reason.  Has to be some deviation for human element?  Jerry never mentioned it in his report on the car.  Here is a better pic with what appears to be a C:

Daytona Yellow...something about that look with a black top.  That's why i wanted your opinions on the authenticity of the two cars I was originally looking at that I posted in the decoding section.

Not many with the original blue VIN sticker on the door!!   Yours makes the second I've seen (in addition to my own).   It's also interesting that your car was built 2 days before mine (your VIN is about 1400 ahead of mine), yet your engine/trans/rear are dated after my own; just shows to go ya... that there are wide ranges on the parts dates ... :)

Yes Gary....Darell said it was a nice thing to have.  Also attaching Protecto Plate and noticing that there is no C next to the rear end information.  Have you seen late production Protecto Plates with the C designation?
