Topic: 1935 Ford truck - Correct engine/WP/intake colors?

  Can anyone help with the correct engine, water pump, and intake colors for a 1935 Ford 1/2 ton pickup?

I'm OK with the dark green/blue-gray engine color from Bill Hirsch Auto (since it seems to match the existing engine color fairly closely), but should the water pumps be 'engine color' or black?

What about the water pump pulleys? Black or engine color?

What about the intake? Aluminum / silver, or engine color?

Thanks very much for your time.

  You can't go wrong with Bill Hirsch Engine Green.
Engine and pumps are green.
Leave the pump shafts and inside the sheaves unpainted.
Heads are aluminum for 1935, as is the intake manifold.
