does anyone make a body bolt kit in black oxide? i can find plenty of stainless kits but not in the black oxide.

Most black oxide bolts that I know of are grade 8 bolts. In fact a quick check shows that it is pretty well an indicator of the fastener being grade 8. That is why you don't see black Oxide bolt kits.

A search shows that at lest one vendor sells Grade 2 black oxide fasteners though and Grade 2 is all that one needs for body bolts.
Here is one https://www.mutualscrew.com/product/...andV7E5_hSvckI

The problem there is that they will probably only sell in bulk lots by the box.
