    2 things you have to deal with ... it's a '55, & it didn't get painted like that by Chevrolet ...

    Autumn Brown, and Cream Medium were colors similar to what yours is painted. But the paint scheme of what is which color is nowhere near being factory original. 1954 trucks were available with a single color, or with a two tone that had the top of the cab a lighter color. Lots of folks got creative with painting fenders different colors, painting some of the body lines, etc.

    In other words, if you want to put it back to how it is now, but with fresh paint, then don't worry about getting the "correct" colors.

    Chocolate metallic with a cream top in the factory paint scheme would look really good.
