Does anyone have a source for paint colors pertaining to steering box, transmission, pto case, etc? Or where these chassis black? Thanks in advance! Mark [email protected]

PTO's do have a paint finish as they come from aftermarket suppliers and not the motor companies. Red, blue and black are the colors of them depending on the make. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,363 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,363 | If in natural finish. To keep the rust off you either clean it and clear coat with maybe a satin clear, or use the cast iron color paint.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
