helpful hints wanted

First and foremost a big thanks to all you good people and your great advise with your help its looking like im going to have one awesome 62 f100stepside.
Does anyone have any recomendations on what color to paint this truck the body is dead straight and im leaning towards black or midnight blue what looks good in your opinion? What color should i paint the bumpers and should i paint my chrome grill to match the body? Does anyone know the cost of reappolstering a bench seat?How should i mount my radio there is no hole in my dash for one and i dont want to cut one? Also im thinking of changing my rear end gearing for a little more top end speed i have a 9 inch rear end a 300 6cl. and a three on the floor just enough for a little zip ,if i wanted a race car i would have a mustang.
Also what is the approximate price to pay for a slightly better than average paint job on the inside cab and the outside entire truck im prepping it myself all accept the masking job , there is no body work needed.

THANKS AGAIN
