I dug out my radio grille and it still has some original interior paint color where the stainless trim strips covered it. A previous owner rattle canned that blue on the interior.
Unfortunately it looks like the interior paint I got from Jim Carter their PT107E isn't a very good match to the interior, as it's darker than the original and has a bit less metallic in it.
The dots on the left of the photo are the new paint, and the dot on the right by the hole is the steering column/steering wheel color that was a nice match. Also are a couple photos I got of interior paint chips from TCP Global's Auto Color Library.
I'm going to contact Jim Carter and see if they can send me a chip of their PT109 paint, which is described as "1947-1955 Interior Paint Medium Gray for Panel Pickup Truck as Original Chevrolet and GMC Pickup Truck" to see if that's a better match. Or I might see if the local paint supplier can mix me some from the original Ditzler color code (31174.)

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
