Thanks for any info

Drive shafts were either raw or chassis black. There was no place on the line where red oxide was sprayed after the chassis was assembled.
Front springs, rear axles and springs were drizzled with chassis black in a small booth right before body drop. "Painted" is a bit generous, as it was not a full bodied "spray" but more of a drizzle in the general direction of the chassis, using the cheapest black paint that you can imagine. The amount of coverage was hit and/or miss at best.
