I was kinda surprised as well Keith, I was using the VIK for ref and couldn't find any black codes 74-78 (and I know my Uncle had a black 78 stepside now that I think of it). I dug a little deeper on some color charts and that seemed to back that up. So just now I broke out the big guns to cross check (the 76 and 78 data books I have) - and I found one disconnect. While the 76 db indeed doesn't show black available (except on medium duty and El Camino), the 78 does show it available in the Series 10-90 area, so it doesn't jive with the VIK. Now I'm really curious - would love to see a 74-77 (not 78 I guess) SPID with black or I won't be able to sleep tonight!

EDIT: I am finding black on some of the less-detailed paint chip charts floating around online for some of these mid-years, but it's not to a level of detail where I can tell if it was available on light duty. It just had to be though. It's a sad night for me to lose faith in the Vehicle Info Kits... I thought they were kinda rock solid. What am I missing here...?
