Best can recall the trans dipstick tube is natural.
Like aluminized steel or galvanized steel.

Thanks for sharing the Invoice.
Its loaded up pretty well with nice stuff.

Was just a caution on the oil stuff - they don't pop off oil filters all the time.
But it's an 80 psi oil pump in these, and they pump really hard when oil is cold.

I blew the oil filter loose on my 73SD after the first oil change i did on it.
Didn't let it warm up enough before revving it some to test some other adjustments.
Was sitting still - in the carport - when it happened.
Scary and Messy , learned my lesson , never happened again.
And i drove it hard plenty of times, at full operating temp.
No worries

Another guy i know did it too, but he had used 10/w40 thinking it was a good idea for summer running.
