No room in the box either......sorry but for $15K I would want a truck with a functional box.

Toy truck.

After looking at the truck a second time I realized it does have the decals. They are also black.

Were flat black decals on a black vehicle a thing back in the 1990s, or was this a special order or factory mistake... or were they applied after a new paint job?  I've only noticed the black on black motif become more common over the past 10-ish years.

It's funny to me, as a guy I know ordered a new Dodge Demon 340 back in 1971.  His order was for a black car with white stripes but the factory screwed up and delivered a black car with black stripes.  He was annoyed but decided to still buy the car as delivered (I guess he had waited long enough for it).  To most it was an oddity... why would anybody be dumb enough to install black stripes on a black car?  You could barely see them.  Now, it's considered cool.

we had a customer with an original  '70 440 6pak Cuda, Black with Matte Black hockey stripe,  He called it his sleeper.

I've had three. 

First was a $400 1989 that was traded in at the Chrysler dealer I worked at. Circa 2002. 4.3 auto with AC

Second I believe was a 93. 4 banger with a 5 speed. It came factory that turquoise blue. I did the black to break up the colour a bit

 

Last one was a 91. Also a 4.3/Auto. It was the last vehicle I owned in Ontario

I thought they were great little trucks.
