"Old" nube checking in....

Hi All,
I'm close to putting ink to the check for a '55 F100. My first venture into a Classic. It had a frame off restore a few years ago and just suffered some heat related paint damage. About ready for a new coat. Am I wrong to say I want a "stock" paint color so I can replace a tail gate or part and be able to match it in the future? Today's technology may not make that an issue. Would like your thoughts. I feel good about the professional seller's integrity and ability. Don't feel good about my ability to ask the right questions for a long term marriage to my to ride. Digging for info wherever I can find it. Thanks for listening!
Dennis
