C1 (1960) another exhaust blackout question

[Donald H.]

I know there's a ton of threads on this subject, but I have not been able to find details on clamps and hangers. The 58-60 TIM & JG only says "The 2 adjustable exhaust brackets which attach to frame at the X-member are painted black and are not plated."

What about the other clamps and hangers? Seems to me if the exhaust was not the car when blackout was applied, then all the clamps and hangers would also be blacked out. My 60 has two muffler clamps on the back side of the mufflers where they attach to the rear exhaust pipes and hangers on the frame just above the axle that hold the rear exhaust pipes up.

Thanks,

Don

There are "on the lift" factory photos of '60 #2279 in Noland's book, taken 7-10 days after the vehicle was built - should provide some clues.
