Dipped painted parts on the 70-72 cars

[Lyndon S.]

What parts were dip painted on the 70-72 cars. Did they paint the Air cleaner base on these cars are were they sprayed? Did parts that were dipped were they done at the St Louis plant, or did the supplier dip them and then ship them to the plant?

Most of the painted brackets used in the engine compartment or chassis were dip-painted. Front upper and lower a-arms were dip-painted. No interior or exterior part I can think of was dip-painted.

While there may have been one or two exceptions, all parts that were dip-painted were done by their suppliers and not at St. Louis.
