After 5 years of being on the lookout, I finally found a 68 rear bumper adaptor.

Did we talk about the colors of all these parts & did they vary at all in 1968? back, blue, different shades of blue?

My jacking mechanism & base are painted blue & this adaptor I bought has never been repainted that I can tell.
I peeled some of the warning sticker off to expose the original color & then sprayed the same blue I used on the jack base to compare.
As you can see its not exactly the same. Close, but a bit brighter that can be seen with my camera better than my naked eye.

Should the base & adapter be the same color blue? or something else? In googling images I see a lot of different combinations.

Thanks, 68RT
