What stamps or numbers, if any, are stamped on original lower ball joints for an e body? I bought a set in original Chrysler boxes, however, I'm questioning if these were just stuck into original boxes and resold. I'll list a few pictures of the ones that I received.

I recently bought NOS lowers for 1969 A body, and they had:

knock-off zerks
tri-slot nuts (one phosphated, one zinc plated)
Chrysler part numbers on the boots, as well as a nylon insert in the top of the boots.

I've had a few sets over the years that I used on previous restorations. I believe Moog was the supplier for the suspension parts 70-71. Those don't look correct to me.

Every OE Chrysler ball joint that I have ever had had a 7-digit casting number on it. And as mentioned previously the boot would ale have the OE part number molded into the rubber. I only have one pic of the casting number on the arm, plus one of the boots.
