Is there one definitive source that would list the factory color for transmission, bellhousing, interior, box bed, I think you guys get it.
Does this source exsist ?
Any help would be very appreciated.

GMC painted those parts non-gloss black Here are 1950 Chevrolet truck color names - scroll down the three pages Here are color names and paint codes. Hopefully, someone will past information/links for modern equivalent colors for the interior colors.

Ooops, John,
Canadian colors might be different - exterior and interior. Sorry.
I have not seen a compilation of Canadian colors for 47-53 trucks. Maybe a Canadian member will post information?
I have seen 54/55 Canadian CHevrolet truck color names - they are different names from the American exterior colors.
