Looks great!
I have also thought of blacking out a lot of parts to build a work truck - chrome is great, but for a real life, day-to-day utility truck, black is more often what you get.

Yet more washed out pics but wanted to show the progress, parts painted 5th wheel mounted. A mate of mine made up the plates that mount in front of the air cleaner.
I have started to sort the MFU but not sorted space for the vibration unit (may just do without)

Very nice looking, its coming along great. Even though your not planning on it yet I also agree that black chrome or even satin black rims would really set this rig off add in a nice color matched pin stripping on the chassis and wow.

Finally a bit more progress, got some wiring done on the roof lights and then test of all lights.. result only 1 not working (nearside rear indicator)





As for the wheels I dont think the shiny chrome are working with the blue and black but think if I paint them satin black it will be too much black.... help any ideas I love the white rc4wd wheels but pretty sure that wont work with black n blue either.

Rich it is looking great.. With the wheels a black wheel with a chrome center cap or using Dupla Colors Black Chrome with give you that black look with ok being solid black..

Finally got the cab all sorted, speaker box, MFC, and control box all housed in the sleeper, vibration unit mounted above the servos and the interior fitted. So truck is almost complete just waiting on the mail to get me my fenders delivered, oh and got a pair of Wedico CB aerials and the swan mounted.

This time I have managed to get it outside for some half decent photographs.








I like this shot too..
