8 3/4 center section

[69hemibeep]

I'm opening up a b-body 8 3/4 to go through and freshen up and inspect on the inside. I have a question on the out side appearance, I know the housing and backing plates are black but is the center section or carrier natural cast or painted black. My Dana was all black

Mine was cast when I replaced the original center section which was 3.23. The 3.91 rebuilt center I bought from Mancini's back in the early 90's was painted black - by them.

I'm restoring some parts for the son of a nearby mopar guy. Chad is doing a full resto of a 69 runner that he got from his folks, I'm going to see if I can get him on here. For you guys that are interested in this stuff I got a real good inspection mark off the back of the housing. Keep in mind every inspector had his own penmanship and this was done prior to the brake line placement.

Hey Bob, the carrier should be natural.

Take some pics.

Looks like the markings we saw on that 'Cuda in Vegas that belongs to Chris' buddy.
