What is considered correct? Lynch road, nov 28 build, most parts on it are oct-nov date. What it had was tri castles on the uppers that are silver with a trace of black, no rust pits at all after evaporust soak, looked untouched but who knows. The right lower was a tricastle, silver trace of black, looked untouched, by cotter pin and dirt buildup, and is a factory ball joint, right side had a 6 castle nut, ball joint is a replacement, black nut. Is all tri castle correct, or upper tri castle, lowers 6 castle, and should they be the black phosphate. I know my 69 car had tris and 6s, but wondered if it had all tri castle on day one, is that possible? Thanks
