SILVER Dana 44 axle/differential
Got the "Differential Rebuilding" DVD from www.technicalvideos.com.
Great DVD, it had normal and Trac-Lock Dana 44. Came to two
conclusions:
1. I can do this... and
2. I do not wish to get all that equipment/meters et.al. for one time
rebuild.
Good investment, I now know the jargon, the methods, and the tricks. I
found a drive train expert locally and found that he does it for about
the same price as I could with buying the parts, consumables, tools and
meters.

Here is my question:

ALL the differentials/axles in the DVD are painted SILVER!

What is the standard for Avanti? I thought it was black, did Studebaker
repaing the standard Silver axles Black?

Is there anything wrong with painting my axle Silver?

thanks!
