1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod

Hey all;
After much deliberation years of it in fact I have decided to paint the truck black.
There are many reasons but the one highest on the list is if anything ever happens and the body has to be repaired there is no color matching required because black is black and it can be panel painted without any mismatching issues.
The second reason is because black is beautiful and never goes out of style.
The one and only downside to black is in the summer it get's hotter than any other color but all that means is the Vintage Air system will have to do it's job well.

hand prints and smugges are also a factor. I had a 4x4 black Dodge Ram 1500 and boy was it a chore to keep clean. Just saying.
