----I have to say that I have never seen a bushing with the word CHEVROLET cast on it. I have restored a couple of 69 Z's and probably missed that or they were already gone. Very cool!......Bill S

All 6 bushings have Chevrolet on one side with the part numbers on the reverse side 180 degrees opposite.

The bushing thing got me curious so I went out and checked mine. Here's the pics of mine. Interesting that the part number is on the bushing twice, one large font, one small font. That ones a head scratcher

Slowly working my way through the car and started washing all the old grease off the front suspension today. Found traces of an old yellow paint mark on the center link. Where else might I be successful in finding original paint marks?

My Z is full of suspension paint markings. Lots of orange blobbed onto the back of the spindles, and one of them has some blue mixed in, my center link has white and some other color. My tie rods have some orange on them as well.

Outer tie rods should have some orange marks. My center link as a blue mark. Upper part of the spindles should have a white mark, mine does.

Thanks... I just took a look at those for reference. Also, love how that booster and the parts from Steve turned out. I keep looking at this one knowing that I'm running out of time getting Steve to do another for me. Real tempting but I think I just gotta leave well enough alone.

Tough to draw the line in the sand isn't it? Clean it up, evaporust the rust off and flat clear the bare spots, it will look much better.

*Personal preference and opinion*


No to flat clear!!! RPM or Rust Veto by Cosmoline on bare parts.
