Re: 12-bolt differential cover, black color and texture?

Only one I see in the same shape is chrome.

You guys were dead-on about the pitting. Course you knew that. It was pretty bad.

I had dedicated too many hours already, so I dedicated more. I've never done "precise" metal work before, but I hammered out the dents, which were all small (lucky). Shaped it right. Sanded, sanded and sanded. Kind of cool making it like new again. At any rate, I got most of the pitting out and it's flat. A couple layers of epoxy, it will be smooth too.

Was it worth the 8 hours plus scrubbing and sanding? Before I hammered the dents out I thought no (did it out of frustration with pitting, figured what the heck). Besides, I learned something. Thanks for your help.

Much info. applies to all 67-72 GM, A/C vehicles, esp. trucks W/O saying. Full search ability, including to 700+ images of illus., parts, charts, Assy., points of interest, cab, bed, & front clip cart plans- Specials and cores were serviced out and R excluded e.g. front/rear glass, body/paint, engine core, rebuilt hinges, steering box, trans, etc.

The project was in-line with long former professions developing process, policy, specs, demo, written for novices, admin., policy, engineers, development, systems & test - Public & govt 2, gross. Sell soft copy cheaply, PM if interested.
