In the early years they was a Silver fawn metallic for the GMC which ran that color for the 60-66 years. Jollly's site www.6066gmcguy.com has the info.

You can find this info here. http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/GMRestoPak.htmThere are many local jobbers who can create a spray can of paint for you in any color you like. But for interior paint, you can look in an obscure place, like the inside of your glovebox, or behind the ashtray knob or behind the door handle. Then with their handy-dandy paint matching machine, they will take a "picture" of your original paint sample and match it. It's about $14 bucks for a can of spray paint in my neck of the woods. Any of the old school parts shops with a paint department can get a can of automotive enamel mixed up for you. Go on, give it a shot!
