Default Half shaft

Hello all. I am replacing the u-joins on the half shafts on my 68. I forgot to mark which end of the shaft goes to the wheel and which side attaches to the diff. Are the half shafts ends reversible?
thanks in advance.

Travis

They'll go in either way. Makes no difference.

Get them powder coated while you have then dissembled. T

Harbor Freight has an inexpensive powdercoating gun kit that works well.
