What color?

Need to know what the correct colors are for a stock M715 for the engine, transmission and transfer case? Was the frame painted black or was it painted the same as the rest of the truck?

engine and frame on my trucks are mostly black. Valve covers seem to be unpainted although maybe with age/heat the black paint flaked off. Not sure about tranny and transfer case. Black would be my quess. I'm pretty sure they weren't high temp orange.

I have seen black frames and unpainted frames. I have seen bare metal, black and OD valve covers...in fact the spare engine I recently picked up has bare metal on part of the valve cover where the paint has flaked off...there is OD paint on the front 2/3rds and the rear face of the valve cover is black...all 3 in one.

On my truck everything was painted black near as I can tell. I stripped the old paint from the transmission and it only had black. The transfer case will not be used, gave the engine a new home.
