I believe that is was likely black or dark gray, as evidenced by the faded paint in the letters of "Dixie" and the faded paint on the casting rib below the drip pan. The drip pan is also black, although it is so black that it may have been repainted at some point.

DIXIE Axle Rebuild Stand
I recently purchased a Dixie model axle rebuild stand made by Service Station Equipment Company (SSECO). It is missing the foldable extension that supports the torque tube and holds the tool tray. Does anyone have one of this style that they'd be willing to take a bunch of detailed photos and measurements of? I can get close with the advertising images and some images I found of another stand, but I'd like to get it as close as I can.

The Dearborn AB-4 on the left side of this yellow-colored advertisement is similar to the red stand that Don Lang posted in the classifieds. It has a slightly different folding attachment design.

Re: DIXIE Axle Rebuild Stand
This is a different one that I found online. I suspect mine had this style of folding attachment, as the style shown in the patent was only shown in advertising for a short period of time.
