portee crew

[David Ellery]

Hi Dick, The Chev Portees which came to NZ only have seating for 3 crew up front, driver and 2 passengers on a bench seat, and they would have had to be real friendly with the lack of leg room! As for seating in the rear I don't know as so far no original portee tipping tray has survived here. If there was seating it would have to be between the pivoting ramps at the extreme rear as fuel tanks, winch gear and the gun itself wouldn't leave enough room up front. The Chev Portees used the same rear tray set up as the Morris C8/AT Portee so if any are existing in the Uk that will be your best bet. Hope that is of help. Cheers David...
