Re: Suspension colors?
Joe,
My research shows that the rear ends were painted as an assembly with the backing plates and drums installed. On some survivor cars I have seen, some drums were painted almost entirely black while others had overspray around the back edge. The backing plates were natural on the inside. I believe the lines and junction block were installed after they were painted. On '70 Chevelles, most rearends were painted with the exception of Van Nuys cars. I have seen many of these with an all natural (not gray painted) rearends. JMO Rick

Re: Suspension colors?
My Fremont 66 SS has all natural rear, had no black other than dirt and grime pre-resto., but that may only go to the Calif. aspect...no rush to undercoat and wasn't on the dealer lot but a day or so.

Re: Suspension colors?

Re: Suspension colors?
Interesting, I was curious because I found a big, yellow crayon '36' written under the center section of the rear on my car, and a white 'x' by the pinion yoke. The Novas received a frame sequence number written in white on the engine cradle, it also corresponds to the the broadcast sheet per NNN.
Thx,

Re: Suspension colors?
Marlin,
I have not seen very many original numbers marked on the chassis components. I agree with Wayne that the numbers are sequence numbers. But the sequence number is from the Broadcast sheet not Fisher buildsheet. ALA the Lanny Weatherford Broadcast sheet in Nova Times from may 96? time frame. Nova Times did show a Fisher Body sequence on the engine cradle. I have not talked to Wayne about it specifically yet. Greg

Re: Suspension colors?
Gregg;
I was also referring to the Shadow Gray giveaway car.
