Found a pdf of the Canadian 1954 truck paints online
Tried attaching it here, hope it worked
There is 4-31 which is in theory the same as 831 would have been in previous years but exact shades could likely change over time.
Edit: by 1954 some Canada paint codes definitely changed because in 1951 code 36 was black and by 1954 it became Rideau Maroon
So don’t take any paint codes as factual truth unless we find it explicitly for that year in a gmc document

We are a long way from painting, but I will probably use close to the 4-31 in 2ManyTrucks post. The unilateral response from all my family was that this color matches best the 1/2 ton I have. Often, what makes my family happy makes me happy.
My plan is to paint the parts when the truck is all dismantled and assemble with all the rubber mating strips in place, if that makes sense.
