the door strikers on my 37 club cab were blasted clean. Am I correct in thinking they were painted body color? Thanks in advance.

Male or female? The former were added after the body was painted, the latter were installed before the body was painted.

By female, do you mean the dovetail?
Now I am confused.
door latch protrusion:

The striker is attached to what I would call the rear pillar,with two screws.
This holds the door shut when you close it.

Many of us would describe that as the latch catch; in any event, those were installed before the body was painted and therefore ended up in body color.
