I have not seen documentation for the 1955-1st chrome grill's interior bar color. I have sales illustration of white in 1954 but I am not sure about having an illustration or photo of a 1955-st chrome grill. I will look tomorrow.

I think that Pure White was the 1954 white on the chrome grill.

I have only ever owned one factory grill for the 54 trucks in the many years I have been gathering parts. This is the grill with the white bars as Tim described.

I have never seen a 55.1 chrome grill in person.
