Your Closed Cab CCKW has a lot of screws that attach data plates and misc. inner cab panels, most are Philips Head with attached Internal Toothed Lock Washers that thread into the doors and internal cab sheet metal. RIV NUT makes a hit with threaded inserts that restores those #8-32 threads. I had several stripped for the Data Plates and Inner Door Panels. "RIV NUT" Kit cured this. There is nothing like having the correct screws inside a restored Closed Cab.
RIV NUT Kits are not cheap (approx. $125.00) but they are worth it.

I've used the RIV NUT kits for quite a few different purposes, as they make several sizes of them, including metric. Not cheap, but well worth the price.
