Not every year has such complete info but on page 56 in the 1948 info kits on the GM heritage site they do show Channel green as the back ground color on the 48 grills

Those herritage center pfd's are still the best resource for correct info.
WOW, this is exactly what I was looking for! Holy smokes, found a drawing of the Canopy Express, will see how close or far off I was in cutting the opening.

The '48 I owned last century had the "Channel" green. That truck was a mongrel, was originally red and repainted, so didn't know if the grill was original. THANK YOU!
