suspension component colors
« on: February 28, 2009 - 04:57:53 PM »
Is there anywhere on the site or is there a source codes that lists/tells what OEM colors each of the individual suspension components were when the cars left the factory?
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Thanks,  the components that were black, were they gloss black or matte black?
