Thanks all.

Just curious about the petcock/trans fittings for a January '65 Dearborn car.  Would it also be the painted petcock with natural fittings? 

BTW-my original fittings for the trans lines are not brass like the repro ones are.  The originals seem to be some sort of steel or ferrous metal.  Anyone have any originals for comparison?

Yes you are correct the originals were steel. I think they had natural finish. Marty

Well at the risk of beating a dead horse here are some photos of the original radiator petcock, with traces of the original black paint still on it.  I also have a photo of the original steel trans line fitting, on the right, next to the brass repro.  I tried to paint the brass-looks BAD! Has any one had any luck finding new steel fittings?  Mine are pitted or I would reuse them...
