I'm currently redoing a 1950 3100 pickup and I want to go to original factory dash board color. Anyone know the paint code for the grey.
Thanks

I'm not sure a true paint code exists, but I bought Interior paint from Jim Carter. Turns out it was quite a bit darker than the concealed portions of the original speaker grille. I was able to have it lightened to match, but of course don't have a "code" for that as it was custom matched.
But here's a chip with a TCP Global code on it for 1951, which should be the same as your 1950. I would go with the lighter color of the two shown.

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

I had scan done at a local paint shop and this is what they came up with!
Hope it helps with your paint project for the interior.

Mine is a 1952 and there was plenty of non-molested original color to compare to. Here is what I used and interestingly it had been a stock Ford color...Taurus from in the 1980s. Matched within a hair or two.
