First of all thank you (don't remember who) for the info about quad 4x4 site if you need anything for np205 or transmission chech here first. Now to the question: What color is the sm465 supossed to be? Mine appears to be grey? Industrial color but so does the transfer case. I know from other threads that the 205 should be a chrysler red but what about the transmission? Thanks in advance.

mine was a red, more like a primer red than a bright red.

Mine was red like the TC was.

They were a redish brown originally.I don't know the real name of the color though..Burt,if yours is black,it's been painted sometime in the past.

Reddish brown is correct. I've had several over the years and that's what they all were. My 1969 C20 with the 465, I purchased new, was also reddish brown. Over the years I'll admit to forgetting many facts but for some reason, I remember that one well.
