george Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Can anyone help with the details of the seating / stowage for the ealy WW2 Matador, used for towing the 6" howitzer. Was the seating arranged across the rear body, or along the sides. Thanks for ant info. George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinthemartian Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 George, I'm pretty sure that the seating was across the body, at the front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matman41 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 George, There were two rows of seats at the front of the body and then also it had two small wooden/steel seats (that were hung over the body sides and then the lower edge pushed against the boards at the bottom for support) for a couple of guys to sit at the back facing the gun, though to fit the second of these you would need to relocate the spare wheel which was often rolled up to behind the second fixed row of seats.

Thanks for the responses and info.....it makes sense, it was just that I had seen the odd photo that indicated that there were seats along the side.....but was confused by the extra seats that were hung off the side.....thanks again.
