tclederman Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Jarvisburg, NC, USA	The few Chevrolet truck factory illustrations/brochures that I have seen that have the engine and transmission as an assembly show the whole assembly painted the same color, depending on the year/application: gray, blue, green, or yellow. GMC clutch housings/transmissions might have been black? Does anyone have a Chevrolet illustration that shows different colors for those different components (engine, transmission, and engine-to-transmission housing)?
