Re: AD '47-'53 Grill bar ORIGINAL PAINT color options?

To tell the truth I would be lying if I told you that I ever knowingly saw a grill with the back bar being Channel green. The info I gave was straight out of the GM heritage archives along with Stovebolt though.

Once you work your way though the archives https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/ to your year model of truck and scroll down the paint and trim info confirms things.
I would have sworn that black and cream were the two colors used depending on the year though.
