Howdy! You must be my long lost brother!

Your truck looks beautiful. I REALLY like what you have done.

That would be a very very awesome color. Almost no one has that color of truck let alone vehicle.

If you've never owned a black vehicle, take my advise, its looks good and all, but if you care about keeping you truck clean, dont paint it black, its hard as hell to keep looking clean unless you keep after it all the time.

On these trucks dark red with black accents/accessories looks pretty good.

You do know that changing the color on it is going to be quite expensive right?

My 14 year old 97 has been garaged and the paint still looks great. BTW my truck is also black and somehow my last name is also Everybody. I wonder if HeyYou is a distant cousin or something?

I agree, Save the money on the paint job and get some nice exterior bolt on accessories to make it your own.
