One of those “should haves”. Took this apart a couple years ago to have it re-keyed at the locksmith and did not take pictures at the time. All the parts ( I thought) have been in a peanut butter jar Since the return from the locksmith. What am I missing There’s got to be a connecting piece somewhere, somehow. This is for 37 and I don’t know how similar they were engineered later. Any clues?

Larry, Below is a pic I snapped from a 1929-46 Chevrolet Master Parts Price List with what appears to be the complete door handle assembly from keys to lock. In comparing your picture to the diagram, I see the following items that might be missing from your set:
Pawl, Door Lock Outside Handle (19/64 x 5/32 x 19/32 long) 16.380 (GM# 601199) - fits 1934-42 ALL vehicles
Screw - Washer, outside handle 16.353 (Screw 1/4-28 x 17/32 clutch fillister head w/shoulder - chrome - GM# 3654594 and Washer 11/16 I.D. x 5/8 O.D. x 1/32-nickel plated - GM# 4240198) - fits 1931-46 ALL vehicles *
Pin, Door Lock Outside Handle (secures lock and shaft into handle) 16.387 (GM# 4047769) - fits 1937-46 ALL **
* Yours may be there and already threaded into the end of the shaft, but I can't confirm from your picture??? ** Yours may be already inserted into the Shaft 16.385 as I see what looks like the nub of a pin sticking out the side of the shaft???
Hope this info is helpful.

Screw washer and spacer was all screwed in, the pin that holds the handle was not in the picture but it’s just a roll pin. (There was bent baling wire in there) The spring was in there. What is missing is the pawl. Another case solved! Thanks so much Dan for running it down and the picture. I still need to buy a good copy of that master parts list, just haven’t pulled the trigger as the ones I’ve seen are worth their weight in gold.

Glad it was helpful. Hopefully you can locate a replacement pawl, or maybe find the original that got misplaced.
I was lucky enough to stumble across that book while wandering an antique store. Cost me 1/2 of what they’re going for on evilbay.
Maybe worth doing a little antique store wandering if you’ve got any local. In the meantime, feel free to post more questions and I will gladly provide any info I can help with.
