68 : Shocking Question

[Jeff P.]

I just removed the shocks from the 68 project. I believe these are the originals. (See pics) the front shocks are dated , 134 68. The rears 129 68. That would mean Sunday May 13 for the fronts and Tuesday May 8 for the rears. Was this a leap year? If so would this change the Sunday build date? Thanks, Jeff.

May 8th was a Wendsday and the 13th was a Monday. Here is a way to check.

Interesting, earlier ones had a dash between the days and the year in the Julian code. These are also lighter gray.

Thanks,Paul I was looking at a Julian calendar I noticed this Mike. If you look up at the pistons there is the blue/ grey color overspray. I think someone sprayed silver through the coils up front. The labels have spray over them.
