??about door latch striker??
Does anyone know what color the door latch striker plate was from the factory? I've seen some awesome show trucks with the striker painted the same color as the body, and I've seen some that appear to be black?

I always thought they were supposed to be unpainted.

That question made me go look and see. Both of my old heaps have no paint on the door striker plates.. Both are same year.

Re: ??about door latch striker??
Yep, no paint on either of mine. I did pull the ones on my K20 and painted them black. They immediately chipped where the door mechanism hits them on the teeth, but that doesn't bother me.
