Shock absorber paint color?
Anyone know what color the original shocks were on these trucks? (1969)
Thanks, Bob

I believe the shocks were painted gray when new.

Re: Shock absorber paint color?
There were different colors,I believe,due to options. I seem to remember dark blue or even a metallic blue Delco spiral shock.

Re: Shock absorber paint color?
Hmmm, I was primarily asking for the C30 wrecker but wouldn't mind knowing for my other trucks too.
Guess I'll just pick a color if no one knows for sure.  Thanks, Bob

Re: Shock absorber paint color?
Maybe I'll go with gloss gray then.
Thanks, Bob

On most of the muscle car websites, they were painted close to Dove Gray. Trevor
