Thw "Natural" look - or "going nnude"
I have blasted several of parts of my suspension that are documented as having the "as cast" or extruded finish, not painted. After blasting, however, they came out real shiney and silvery - not the blackish gray they should be. Any ideas on how to "weather" these pieces?

I'd suggest painting them with Cast Blast, cast iron paint. As far as I'm concerned the only "natural" finish that sandblasted iron or steel will get in HUMID South East Texas, is RUST! Seriously, you might try posting this over in "Correct Restoration" if you want some tips from the NCRS "correct" type guys/gals, they might have another solution.
