If so, were they black or body color? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 | My son's 1946 2 ton filler neck painted Brewster Green the same as the truck body.

Depends on the size of the horse.  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 | Is the filler neck painted even on the inside of the cab? The first answer was free. What do you got to give?  My son has the truck out on the North Fork right now so I can not measure and say exactly how far down the paint goes on the filler neck. Though it definitely goes past the filler neck grommet so no bare metal is seen on the outside of the cab. Though the paint did not go all the way to the tank if I remember right. The truck may be coming home today.

Dan Exterior color overspray or interior color? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 182 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 182 | Looks like the filler necks were painted ahead of time at the factory to match the cab, eh? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 182 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 182 | The next question then is: was the filler neck seal retaining ring also painted to match the cab, or was it painted black on the '42-46 models that had that type of seal? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | It was painted body color.
