RSchnell Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've seen them either painted a dull black or unfinished. This was on original trucks I've pulled parts from that had been in a junkyard for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 When unfinished, steel or aluminum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) 56 Ford would more than likely be steel or cast iron color. Edited December 5, 2021 by TarheelRick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Usually these would have had very little to no overspray of paint when new. The ones I remember putting hands on were anything from surface rust to very greasy depending on the condition of the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
