What color were the original front shocks?
« on: January 15, 2009 - 12:24:34 PM »
I know the ones on my project car are no newer than 1977, they're light metalic blue and have part 48134 and that's all. I wouldn't even ask but they don't leak and they feel good yet.  if they're original I may reuse them if not I'll junk them.

Not original. I think they were black factory.

Metallic blue sounds like Monroe shocks.
