T98 Owner Questions

Redoing my T98, What was the original color of the housing? Was the dust cover the same color as the box? Or was it the came color as the block? My attempts to search for this info have failed.
Thanks!

I've never had a T98 but every other trans in all the early cars/trucks that I have owned didn't have painted transmissions from the factory.

All of the T98As that I have seen over the years had no paint, just a mix of light rust and oil.

I thought I read somewhere that they were bright orange but I cant find that info anywhere. I guess Ill settle for black or perhaps silver. Anyone happen to know if the dust cover was unpainted as well or was it same color as block?

Cleaned up my dust cover from a 61 F100 over the weekend. Looks like the original color at least for this one was Ford Red.
