I like the Black hardware. All my hardware is raw Aluminum.
E-mail Blake at STC and he will correct that error in the instructions. He's pretty good to get along with and will correct stuff like that. They corrected the instuctions on the 73-75 on the header track when I pointed out the information listed was for the 69-72 truck.
Here is a review I did on the 2nd gen Top.
