Rear end - black lacquer gloss*
Third member - natural
K-frame - black lacquer gloss*
Leaf springs - depends on what was installed in your car, most are natural
Upper Control Arm - Natural
Lower Control Arm - Natural with most of it dipped in Kerosote
Sway bar - natural
Tie Rod Ends - natural
Brake Hub - Natural. Drums are painted red if equipped with road wheels and probably rare Kelsey Hayes wheels
Pitman Arm - Natural
Crossmember - black lacquer gloss*

*note the lacquer paint can vary a lot in gloss depending on numerous things. Most people dull it down. You have to go by your own car to determine how much.
