On my 62 the shocks are all Boge. The fronts carry a T1 PN and the rears have a T3 PN. When I cleaned them down to the original paint I found the fronts to be black and the rears were a browinish red color (burnt orange). When repainting them I chose to use the rustolium burnt orange primer with a clear coat as it was the closest off the shelf rattle can HD had.

well the driver's which looks to be an original is black and dead as hell with no life in it and the passenger's is a gr2 painted black and has some life in it but not much this may explain why one sides components are worse than the others?
