1970 FJ40 frame color

[mtbearclaw]

I recently purchased a 1970 FJ40 Land Cruiser. I haven't taken delivery yet. I have been sent many great photos. It appears to be all original. The frame from the front Bib forward appears to have been painted the same color as the body, which is a light blue. Most of the blue on the frame is fairly faded. Does anyone have any info on whether this FJ would have come from the factory with the front frame painted the color of the body, or were all the frames painted black? Thanks in advance.
