Pilot's side door?
 

Do any of the 336 or 337 models come with a pilot's side door? For those that didn't, was there ever an STC for one?

No and doubtful. Baggage door was the closest to a second door on the Skymaster.

This is why I was wondering:
"The Cessna 337C has two doors, one on each side of the cabin, adjacent to the front seats."

The non-pressurized do.

I've seen lots of pictures of early unpressurized 337s, but I still haven't seen a pilots side door - or even a large window that opens, for that matter.

Aviation Consumer July 2009:

"The beauty of 337s made before 1971 is the pilot’s side window opens for ventilation, like most Cessna singles. There is no pilot door as that side of the cockpit is awash with circuit breakers."

A few misrepresentations...
 

The Skymasters (non-pressurized) have one door - located on the right side (Starboard).
It has the typical Cessna opening window that is hinged on the top. The baggage door, also on the right side, is simply that - a baggage door, not an exit or entry (except for maybe a small animal). On the pilots side (port side) of the windscreen, there is a small vent window that opens (a little bit of airflow) and an emergency exit (pilots side window). It is only an emergency window and is not hinged - it is not used for ventilation.

My bad, I thought I had seen one but realize now I did not.

I was pretty sure no models had the door as standard, but the NTSB report made me think there was an STC. The Circuit breakers seem like a deal breaker for that.

I assume the storm window gives good ventilation on the ground when the left hand is used as a scoop? Can any of the windows be opened in flight?

There are many mistakes in the NTSB reports. No Skymaster had a door on the left side. All the fuel lines are on that side also besides the CB panel. The storm window can be opened at any speed on the normal early models. Works well when low and slow. The left hand scoop is very effective. The passenger / co-pilot window hinges out about 6 inches although I don't open this in flight. The O2 door on the military version had a crank out window on the right side and could open up 90 degrees of the door at any speed. That would be cool, no pun intended.

And there is a spoiler attached to the cabin door on the O-2A to keep the slipstream from dumping in the cabin with the window full open. This allows a photographer to use a camera without the lens getting too much load on it.
