Who's got a single rear wheel utility service bed ? Let's see the pictures!

I have a big terrible itch

to replace my 8' factory bed and Gem Top shell which is starting to give me problems.

It does not have enough shelving space and the rear door opening is only 3' high (cab height) and this limits capacity to load and haul items plus the removable roof rack I have (Yakima sic) is less that desired.#@$%!

I'm thinking Knapheide 696J utility body in BLACK. Also adding a B&W Guardian headache rack, black. Ya, I know I'll have some fabrication work to make it work. LED lights all around. You got to like those LED'S.

I've never seen a black utility bed and I'm thinking it will look better like the black flatbeds are, vs. the standard white and/or extra cost red, no guarantee color will match factory red P4.
Has anyone seen a black utility bed? Any pictures? please post so I can see. Any comments TDR?
Thanks, Tom
