Hanno i thought you also sent a reply, I answered one must be older than I thought ,seeing things, in the reply i said that what I possibly should be looking at is the difference between the amount of men in a portee and 17 pdr gun tractor as i belive mine is the conversion, the extra seat may have been required (although very cramped )for another man.the back being very small due to the petrol tanks being behind the cab and the amount equipment would also taken up a large amount space . The answer I now need is how many men in a 17pdr crew

Hi Dick, it's not your age but the platform to run this forum needing an upgrade. I did post a reply, so did you, but after a couple of hours the server or database was reset, thereby losing several hours of work

What I said it that as far as I know the 2-pdr gun portee consists of four men: gun commander, layer, loader, and driver. The same must be true for the 17-pdr AT gun.

If and when you have the time, I look forward to those pictures of your chev portee.

Regards,
Hanno
