This will be my first post. I am new to the forum but not new to the Mopar world. I purchased my 69 SE Charger in 1983 and was fortunate enough to find an all original, numbers matching, big block, four speed car. The car was a western state car and still had the 1973 Arizona plates on it. After owning the car for 36 years, it was to for the restoration. I am in the middle of the restoration now, the body is at a restoration shop in Connecticut for body and paint, I am left with restoring all the parts.
One of my biggest challenges is the correct color of the parts. I am getting ready to rebuild the rear leaf springs and need the correct color of the leafs, rear shackles and front mounting brackets. I have seen some black and also dull silver???
Welcome to the board.
The link below has some information, rear springs are near the bottom:

I have seen brand new cars of that era with rusty springs and some painted.
John, thanks for the link, very helpful
