A-Frame suspension – the upper and lower A-frames are
painted but a unique design. The outer end about 4’ to 6” back is not painted, just bare metal
where the ball joint is located. The top A-frame comes original with a ball joint that has rivets to secure
it to the A-frame. Because these are riveted in with hot rivets the A-frame is dipped in semi-glass paint
everywhere except where the ball joint is located. Note the picture. The bottom ball
joint is pressed in but still has the bare area on the A-frame that matches the top A-frame pattern of paint.
They too are dipped in the semi-gloss up to the ball-joint area. Coil springs are not painted, front
and rear shocks are semi-gloss black. Rear leaf springs are not painted or oiled. The
rear springs are 3 leaf with a 6” spacer where the rubber cushion is installed. The rear end has
a stabilizer bar with the 3 leaf set-up on the 81Z. No paint on the bar, front or back.
