Attached are pics of the doors, inside and outside. The drawing shows measurements in cm (and just noticed some are in mm)

hello
And thank you very much for all this precious mesurements! And in metric!

After what I foud on internet they used recuted Ford A door hinge , What about the hatch, is it also reused from an other wehicle or only cmp?

I see the truck that you pictured was painted in white inside , that's also the case of mine, is it original ,or post war?

What about the lids lock , are they standart, or will I have to rebuilt them?

Thank you again,
Sylvain

You are welcome, Silvain.

The only thing I can think of is a Bridge plate(?), but I don't know why it would be fitted in the cabin.

Do you mean the hatch above the passenger? If so, I think the hatch if purely CMP. I am not sure if the cab 13 one is the same? That would help you in finding one.

Indeed, the one I pictured was white on the inside. Factory photos show the inside painted in the same shade as the outside, so I presume the white is post-war (?)

Locks, latches and all those small bits; lot's of these were standard stock at the time and some are still being made. I found a latch for my CMP toolbox at a supplier of musical instruments...apparently they are stil used for cases to store musical instruments. Also keep an eye out on flea markets...sometimes you will find this old stuff on cheap old cases and boxes.
