Post Looking for window side for my C8

hello

I'm looking for the widow side (left, right, back) for my C8.
If someone have the plan with measurement, it will be great.
thanks
benoit

Your C8 is likely a 1942 or 1943 model C8A Heavy Utility Personnel. (HUP) The newer ones had the spare tire where the rear drivers side door is on yours.
PS---it looks nice!

Here's the info on the heavy utilities from Gregg's book Military Vehicle Profiles. This stuff was all on two pages but I broke them up into smaller parts to post them here.

Nice looking C8A you have there, Benoit!

More info on C8A's, in Italian (but copied from Wheels & Tracks magazine), can be found here:

http://www.amv-lilliput.org/modelli/...8A_2/c8a_2.htm

HTH,
Hanno
