Re: 1969 Seat Track Finish?
No replies for a 69, but here are pictures of a 1972 survivor. Looks to be zinc.

Re: 1969 Seat Track Finish?
Finish varies from light to dark so it’s difficult to say… I think that you would be correct in going with zinc phosphate, but I wouldn’t be upset if they turned out darker than what Leonard posted. That’s for the bottom slide…
The top slide is most likely natural (could be zinc plated, but I wouldn’t bet on it) which means you’re going to need to get creative if you plan on restoring them.

I'm glad that Stan responded.
If you follow his restoration page on Facebook he outlines some great tips on how to restore these tracks.
I would recommend you look at those if you do FB.Vice-Chairman (West), Michigan Chapter NCRS
