Good evening bolters. Refurbishing the stick and hand brake in my 1950 1-ton Chevy 3800 with its original 4 speed on the floor. From what I can tell the shifter was originally black, but I can't tell what color, if any, was on the hand brake.

Anyone have any clues to the color for the hand brake? Did it typically match the color of the stick?

Thx - Bruce
