Default C3 chassis pictures needed

I'm a member of a car model builders forum where several members are wanting to replicate various years of factory stock C3 chassis etc., but lack proper reference materials. I'd appreciate any pics you can share of your factory stock chassis (correctly restored or factory original). Close-ups of half-shafts, differential and front suspension would be especially nice. Please include the model year of the chassis.
TIA for anything you can share

1981 production shown (December, 1980). Most C3s will be similar; they didn't change much over the years. Frames were semi-flat black from the provider; suspension components were usually semi-flat black or unpainted.

The Vette Vues Corvette Fact Books series lists the various finishes on parts for restoration purposes. Get the 1963-67, 1968-72, and 1973-77 volumes.

A racer, but restored to period configuration and colors...
