Venturing into the world of truck painting. I have the cab disassembled and painting one of the doors right now. If I don't paint the inside and outside the same colour and go with the original type brown interior, I may use Rustoleum 7272, which side gets painted first? I might be totally wrong, but it seems like painting the outside colour would make it easier to mask where the door skin wraps around. Or does it make a difference? I have a couple of coats of PPG epoxy primer on right now.

I painted the inside first because I thought it would be less suceptable to damage than the extrior side paint. Not saying that's right, just what I did.
Assuming that you plan to install door seals (not wure on the 48 2-ton vs. my '50 3600) the paint color transition can be hidden by the seals.
I also painted the inside of my doors first. Didn't bother to mask the outside. Then masked the inside (around the window was the biggest pain) and then shot the outside. I did pad the table where to keep from messing up the paint on the insides. The factory put the color transition under the weatherstripping.
Here's a couple of pics.
