SM465 4 speed transmission color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I started cleaning some of the gunk off the transmission from my wrecker and it looks like it was either painted red or had the over spray from the body color which also is red-orange. In the pic below, you can clearly see the PTO (made by Chelsea) is a pure red. The trans has the appearance of orange overspray? I have alot of cleaning to do yet.

What is the correct factory color for these? I did a search here and didn't find much. Someone mentioned these were some sort of a red color?

If anyone can provide a color picture and color description, that would be of great help! This is a resto so want to do it the correct color.

Thanks,

Bob
