The coil-over is the way to go, nice job! If you dont want green, my opinion is to keep it on the lite side of grey.

Looks real good. I don't know if I could drive a truck that actaully had suspension travel. It just would feel right to be comfortable on bumps.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

Kind of like the first time I drove a M60A3 tank at Ft. Hood. I was used to my '82 Toyota 4x4 and new how fast it could take big obstacles. The M60 didn't even know they were there. SPEED was added in a hurry and it was great to go over and through things that would have stopped the Toyota cold. 30 mph across a rutted field and not feeling it is great. At least until you do the same thing at 31 mph and break a torsion rod. Then the rest of the crew hates your guts, you are stuck under the darned thing fixing it and you don't get any food the rest of the weekend.
Your results may vary.

Nice looking build there Alex!
About all Big Block Chevy engines had or have a decal on them with some reference to Tonawanda.
The Tonawanda Chevrolet plant is where all the Big Blocks were manufactured for years. The older stuff had a valve cover decal that read: Chevrolet Tonawanda The Number 1 Team.

If not OD how about a dark green metal metalic like the Emerald Green from the 1997-1998 Jeep TJ's. If not that I think a silver or black would look pretty sweet.
