What color/finish was the crank guide mounted on the bumper?
Thanks for your input.

If I had to guess, I'd say they were painted black. I can check to see if there's any original paint on it next time I'm out at the truck. Maybe this weekend.

Just trying to get the real story. Black is my guess as the tools (jack,lug wrench, etc) were all black.

In cleaning it up I don't recall seeing any indication it was ever painted. I did paint it black, because of choice. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 | My 41's crank was black oxide coated. No paint. | | |
