What color was the steering box originally on a 51 hornet? Black? Metallic grey? seems the later would go nicely with the chrome upper that goes into the firewall. Thanks!

And rear axle / prop shafts while I'm asking 🙂
Black.
Thanks Russ!
I thought they were jost pot metal gray.
The plot thickens.... all I know is mine are rusty and crusty with dirt and dried out grease.... 🙂
You're probably seeing a very faded black.
The gearbox itself is cast iron, not pot metal. Yikes! Who'd trust pot metal for a part that your life depends upon?
I can't say that I've ever seen anything but black, but you can paint it any color you desire....but, please.....not pink....or lavender. You can always re-paint it before the Concours de Elegance if it needs to be "correct".

Framk, of course you're right! I know that but the wiring and the fingers are shorting out. Sheesh! Thanks for stopping the stupid on my part!
Tim,
At no point in our acquaintance will I [i]ever[/i] think you're stupid. I might think you had a brain fart, though.

LOL! Seems to happen more often these days!
