Front Suspension Restoration

The K frame is chassis black, the lower control arms would be raw steel with cosmoline coating - I simulate that with a brown primer - it was a waxy like substance that kept them from rusting. Upper were chassis black except for the area around the ball joint - they dipped them and did not dip the ball joint to keep the threads clean. main tie rod was heavy coat of gloss black - side tie rods - raw steel. Raw steel on the struts and sway bars too. You can clear coat them if you want to keep them from rusting but the factory did not care.
