So, if one were to attempt to paint the frame, axles, driveline, winch, etc... the *correct* colors as they would have left the factory, what would they look like?

Were these all painted a satin or chassis black once assembled, or did the factory paint each part separately and assemble them afterwards? Did it change depending on the year?

Tried a search, and found lots on what other people have done, but not much about what was original in this department. Pretty much interested in everything but the body.

Dan-

As far as I know....each item that bolted to the frame.....shakles, mounts, axles, springs etc were all painted seperately and then installed.

PPG has an industrial line that is really great paint. Hard as can be! It's used on engines and bodies of Caterpillar units.

Check out my buildup thread for the pics of my frame/springs/axles painted in it.

I'll have to look up the paint code.

Laters-
