My uncle's 63 has a red (or maybe orange?) painted 3 spd. Same color as the 223. I would think that they came painted? His has never been removed I don't think...

I'd go with the red; makes it easier to spot if it falls out :roll:

I didn't find any traces of paint on the case of my 65 F250's 4 speed. Just a few inspection marks. Bell housing was dark for blue.
