A heat gun is easy. I waited for a hot, sunny day and most just peeled off, and then yes acetone to finish it off. If waiting for a hot day is not an option, you can actually buy a pinstripe and decal removing fluid which doesn't affect the paint(not that thats a problem for what you're doing).
Acetone, like the other fella said, will work, keep the rag wet, start a part of the pinstripe, than lead along with the wet rag and slowly pull the striping off.
Cheap and affective.

The color is totally up to you. After all it's your truck and the only one you have to impress is yourself.

another idea for the pinstripes - at some paint shops you can get a pinstripe remover. it is a rubber/plastic wheel that fis in the end of your drill and just rubs the stripe and glue off with no paint damage. (razor is a bad idea unlessyou like lots of sanding and spending lots of money on self etching primer). for the paint you can use anything , but keep in mind anywhere you are down to the metal (rust repairs, etc...)you will want to use a self etching primer otherwise your paint won't adhere.

There was a picture of a Jeep somewhere around here a while back that had a really nicely done flat tan paint job. I recall being very impressed with the look.
