I found the green behind the voltage regulator on the firewall when I removed it. Oren repainted it fire engine red when they added the pumper body.
I like the green option/choice for yours.

It's a cheap way to see what color you like and different ways of two-toning it. My tow truck started with the body white and the roof red. I later painted the hood red, then one day I thought it would look good white and orange so I repainted the red to orange. Two days later I repainted the orange back to red and it's been that we since. You can see a picture of it on my web page (Mike's Garage). Mike B

I'm not a fan of the two tone red and black, not on a Chevy at least. Although it does look great on a flat fended Dodge Power Wagon.
My 48 was originally red, and I wanted red any how so I'll go back to original or very near, and black running boards and bumper.
