It's a good question. The panel on my late '30 CCPU is rust color, and it has been that way for many decades.

IMHO, something tells me that Henry would not have expended resources to paint a rarely seen panel on a commercial truck. In which case the panel would be unfinished. That would be my #1 guess.

If the panels were painted, they would probably be black so that they could be used with all body color options. That would be my #2 guess.

I hope you find a more definitive answer, I would like to know for sure too.
