Topic: 1969 Dearborn. Shock question

[ruger]

Hi, I removed these from my 69'.
Built in 11/68.  250ci with C4 trans. 
What's the possibility of these being original?
C8 part number.  I thought I have seen these bluish/teal shocks before.

They don't look like Autolite shocks. Maybe Monroe? Aftermarket.

Also believe those are aftermarket shocks. For a number of reasons

[carlite65]

that 'C8' part number he mentions does not line up with ford p/n's.

These shocks were on the car when I bought it. 45,000 miles I was thinking that possibly these could be original. 
Trying to find the correct color paint daubs for front and back also. 
So much to building concours.  I'm so far in that I gotta chase the rest of these details.  Also looking for the correct paint color code on the master cylinder now that I have one.

Trying to find the correct color paint daubs for front and back also. 

Easy one    Red daubs on the bottom bells of both front and back shocks (picture examples shown in the Basic Paint Marks article in the Library

Also looking for the correct paint color code on the master cylinder now that I have one.

Master cylinder is just painted semi-gloss black with lid, gasket and wire bail in place. In each brake line threaded port a small round plug would have been installed which once removed and the brake lines attached would have a shadow around the fitting of bare metal

Wow,  thanks Jeff.  That was easy.   Thanks again.  I will eventually have this totally completed and stop all of these questions and be able to answer some.  I am gaining knowledge though, which I greatly appreciate. 
On a side note,  both my wife and I leaned to more of a modified vintage mustang.  After doing our E concours whitewalls and hubcaps, six cylinder which I thought I would hate we both are now converted to totally stock mustangs.  We now look for the more stock mustangs at car shows and appreciate them more.   Kinda turned off by overly modified cars.
