Rob Peters Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sorry, that was almost 15 years ago. I was thinking more a teal blue but would not swear to it. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The SS air shocks may have been a different colour than the regular shocks but don't know for sure. Can't tell from my SS ones as they are rust brown, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I would have thought that the fronts would have been dove gray spiral shocks. The rears are a different story. The GM replacements that were available were black. But I believe the originals were actually red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Stan may be right on the color. Dove grey would look to be light blue. The original front shocks I removed from my 70 (350) were also the spiral design. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I always thought they were Dove Gray. I painted my KYB Shocks that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 ok heres the color. go to gastanks.com 1-800-235-8788. they have a special blue-grey gm used on all shocks. the part # 07-03.9.50 plus shipping .1-2 cans per 4 shocks. other people have used rustoleum dark grey #1986 or krylon dove grey #1605. but there is no blue in those.

ss454-71 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 They all appear to be a battleship gray perhaps with a blue tinge. I have an nos set on my '71 ss and they are the same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
