Wondering if anyone has a assembly line picture that would show if the harmonic balancer, water pump pulley and if the oil bath air cleaner where also grey? Also, how about the fan blades?
One of these days I will learn how to post some pictures on here to share my journey of returning this truck back to what it was. Thanks in advance, Troy

Good picture of the distributor though! Just figured while I'm painting things, might as well keep it true to its roots!
