'68 half shaft/drive shaft/differential finish

[Dave F.]

It's time to apply correct finish to rear suspension and driveline components, and could not un-earth my TIM&JG last night to save my life. I "organized" my shop last weekend, and now have no idea where some things are ! So please forgive and accept my gratitude in advance, but could someone tell me the correct finishes for these components ? I think shafts and pumpkin are to be natural, and I have the shock and spring paint, but memory is a fleeting thing these days . This is probably the only way the manual will surface - after I find out the answer.

Natural mill finish with heat-blued welds (tube seam and ends).

Re: I have a plan

I'm going to have the cast blasted components naturally clean themselves up with a fine sand blasting at oh say ................130 MHP

It's Ok Chuck I'll say it Driver DRIver DRIVER!!!!

Which is exactly what I intend to do
