C8A HUM s/n 3844536691 1944

Most importantly I need a driver's door and front long axle (left). I also need numerous small bits that can be fabricated but parts like the doghouse, window frames, square hatch cover and grab handle, etc. would expedite the restoration so a parts truck may be better than individual parts.
I'll take what I can get.
Would prefer BC but will travel as far as Oregon or Manitoba to trailer a truck back.
Parts are for a 1944 Chevrolet.
Thank you.

Since your ZL is part of the Heavy Utility family, C8A, there are many parts that are not common to other models.
The driver's door appears similar, but some used a different latch mechanism, more like a car door.
The front axle assembly is different from the heavier models. The track width is different and I can't tell you whether it is just the center housing and inner axle shafts that are different or whether other parts are different too, comparison of the C8A and C15A parts manuals should help you with this.
The doghouse appears similar, as does the co-driver's hatch. Window frames probably follow the doors, if the doors are common then the window frames probably are too. Again, let the parts books guide you.
If you have the chance to grab a spare C8A series chassis, take it. You will be surprised how often you can go out to grab a part or simply look at the second one for comparison to see how a thing was done.

Shayne- Just to help with your search as near as I can tell the Dog House is the same on a 1942 C60 Pat 13 as on a late 1945 HUP. Side by side photos of the two http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...20Drawings.htm the OD one is the HUP.

Cheers Phil
