SM420 transmission and Rockwell T221 color, 1964 K10.

Trying to determine the original color of my 1964 K10 SM420 trans. Was it a reddish color? Looks like their may be a little black on another '65 SM420 I have???

The T221 looks kind of red/maroon.

Where would they have been painted? If supplied to factory from off site would they more likely be painted if not Alu. metal. That was typical for other Chevrolet vehicles for this time period.

Any photos of them being shipped/ stored?

Thanks,
Les
