I've mixed that color using Testors green with white to lighten it up.  If you go looking at images of '49-53 Fords (cars had the same engines as the pickups, in the same colors most all of those years, you should be able to find a decent color shot that you can use for matching  the color.

It's more of a teal-ish green...Krylon has an engine paint that's pretty darn close, though not an exact match.
