Welcome to the Forum glad to have you join us! This forum like you stated has a lot of knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
When you get a chance post up some pictures of the interior i would like to see those too!
Here's my suggestion build your truck the way you want it, it's your truck. For me when I have people look at my truck I want them to feel like they know me as an expression of what my truck is.
As far as giving you suggestion on color and other things, what might help us is for you to share your ideas with us and then we can maybe get you a game plan going. One big question will be what are your plans for the truck, just a nice cruiser, daily driver, or show truck.
Again welcome to the forum! Sorry for the long winded post.
