The GMC CCKW

I noticed for the first time on my 353 that the interior door handles were chromed but had been painted over. Would it have been normal for the military to receive these trucks with chromed door handles?

Secondly, I can not locate Volume 2 of my Ord 9. Between two floods, two tornadoes, one hurricane, and one Halloween snowstorm, things are pretty well upended here still . Can someone tell me the part number for an interior door handle from Section 18 (Cab and Body) for the 353?

just a note about interior handles:

I install the drivers side with the handle to the back and the pass side to the front. I do this so someone on the pass side needs to physically lift the handle to get out. They cannot open it by accident.

On the drivers side, I know what I am doing so I can just push the handle down and bail out.

Hi, just joined the forum so no idea if this thread is live ! My 352 (1941) has a painted over chrome inside door handle so perhaps early ones used civilian parts until they ran out ? Anyone got a spare as one of ours is missing and would like to replace like for like if I can.
