Color the top/sides of a 3D cube or rectangle with a gradient

Hi,

  I am using PS CS6 extended on Win 7.

 

Two Questions/Help

1) How do I color the top and sides of a 3D object, made by extrusioning a rectangle, with a gradient color?  In what I am doing.... I don't really care about the "texture" of the 3D rectangle, I want the top and sides to match the gradient I made on the face of the rectangle. I see the in properites of the extruded material the diffuse, specular, illumination and ambient settings.....but none of these lets you pick a gradient color.

 

I "guess" I can make separate layers to build a 3D rectangle box, and warp/distort the visible top and side after coloring it with a gradient..........but it seems like this is the idea, or part of the idea of a 3D object.

 

Any help on making the top and side of 3D extruded rectangle colored with a gradient would be appreciated!!

 

 

2) Why is there no true 3D rectangle objects, only cubes (spheres, pyramids, etc.)? Can you scale the cube into a 3D rectangle, if so how?
