Can anyone settle a debate that my dad and I are having? We are redoing the front suspension on our 70 chally with manual drum brakes (10"brakes) and have been arguing as to what the original color of the front backing plates were. I want to say semi flat black and dad seems to think that it was natural steel. I know the backing plates on our rear axle are semi flat black. Would they both be the same colors? As in front and backs?

Thanks for everyones input.
