Default What is this/these? (1)

I have a couple of these fuel gauges, looks like they have a light attached. The bezel is a light cream colour, wondering if anyone can identify it.

Default Number 2

I have a few of these offset pins, wondering whether they ring a bell with anyone. They were with a batch of Chevrolet parts.

Default Hinge (3)

These are painted olive drab or khaki and are obviously door hinges, GM I think but what do they fit?

The Hinges look very much like Lease/Lend Chev or GMC CCKW hard cab hinges (same thing). They would quite possibly also fit other model Chevs of the same period.

Default Hinges

Thanks David, that's what I thought they may have been.

Alex, I hadn't thought of kingpins - they do have a threaded hole for the grease nipple on the top.

Keith,

As David says the door hinges are 40's Chev. I have just checked one left over from my 1945 Chev ute and it is identical.
