Re: 60-62 bell housing color
Depends on the engine, 235s were medium gray.. V-8s were Chevrolet Orange... "Big" sixes, I'm not sure....

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
I wanted to check to see if they were painted the engine color or just cast. My 235 had gray on it but most of it was worn off. So I couldn’t tell for sure. Im building a 350 to replace the 235 and it will be Chevy Gray like the 283s had in these trucks. So now I’ll paint it to match. Thanks for the help!

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
For the US 60-66 trucks, 283s were gray, the 327 in 66 was very close to Detroit Diesel Green (forget exact name at the moment). Chevy Orange didn't hit the US trucks until 67

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
No orange engines in any 60-66 Chevrolet trucks from the factory . 283 was gray and 327s green in 10-30 series

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
Do you still have the 6 cylinder that was part of this Bell Housing ? Reason I ask is , the 261 Six that was optional 60-62 was green , 235s were gray

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
No I dont have it just always thought it was a 235. Never tore it apart to find out. Might have been a 261

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
Yes. I got it from KBS coatings. I brushed the block and sprayed the oil pan and valve covers. Since these trucks had gray and green engines I wanted to stay with one of the colors.

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
I bet you have a 261. My 235 was gray.

Thanks. I just looked at their products. I think I will definitely go with their kit. My motor has a little surface rust on the pan and their etch seems like it would do the trick. |

Re: 60-62 bell housing color
Bell housing in paint. Now I’m trying to find the correct flywheel dust cover for it. Not much information on it.
