This quite typical French brush truck has the short four door cab which was a characteristic of many of these. The design saved space by having two outwards facing rear seats instead of a bench, permitting a total four person crew - although the rear seat passengers may not have been too comfy. Some had the slightly longer factory crew cab with a bench rear seat, but many in both France and especially Germany had single two door cabs -usually with a dual passenger seat to accommodate a total of three crew, but in what amounted to a rather narrow space.
