For your application as shown above

Front coil springs were likely - 1 Gold and 1 Pink stripe. Suggestions as to how they were marked can be found in other coil spring threads and the article mentioned below. This will help with direction of drips and splatter often produced during application.


Rear leaf springs were likely marked C9AZ-5556-G  with stripes of Gold and Violet

Bottom one in this example

And a restored set of markings. Have seen them in both order from front to back. Just happened sometimes

Suggest you use the search feature of the site - there are many threads that show location and typical applications of the markings your looking for on 69's. Also Suggest, if you have not found it already, that you check out the article in the Library on basic paint marks. Articles are there so we don't have to repeat the same info multiple times in different threads and it provides a common base to start from. Got some reading to do ;)
