S BEDFORD

Here is a S bedford that i am building,the cab is from the partsbox,chassis i built from C chanel,fuel tank is from pete', ford diff,ford front axle,seats reo,colour is humbrol metallic green (50).tan inside.have to build up a engine gearbox for it,

How did I miss this one? I saw plenty of these around when I was a kid. A nice build Allan - did the Bedford have a big four or six cylinder engine?

Coming along nicely Allan.

tezza 43 they came with 2 engines,a 6 cly petrol and a diesel,most here had petrol engines,it was called the big bedfords,all of 7 tons,prime mover chassis was longer here in australia, UK one was short one,lot had tippers on then,most got bent in the middle carrying 10 to 12 tons.been looking for photos of one here in oz.

looking for photos of engine so me can build one,can anyone help.

Found engine for her,its a 6 cly,going to re-make floor pan so engine fits.

great looking build Allen will have to build the other one that I have tucked away after seeing this.

Thanks,me still trying to work out how to make front bumper bar,anyone got ideas

very nice

Will make up one the same as the one I used on mine for you.

Thanks,Kynan for that did u get Bedford infor.

Thanks Allen got the emails will have to get the one out of the stash and build that after I finish the 41 Chevy COE, I have also got the two Ford COE on the drawing board still have a bit of info to gather before I start them will send you a Cast of the Chevy when I have finished the mods to the body work. Will post them later tonight still a heap to go.

Had big scare with Bedford the other day me droped it,parts came of chassis cab was not glued on saved it from hiting tile floor,me hit floor first elbows still bit sore,will be rebuilding it.was more worried about cab then chassis a cab is resin.

Allan glade you managed to save it the bumper is all boxed up and going to be posted tomorrow. The bumper the plastic buck behind it I left it on so that it does not get damaged in the post. You could leave it on or take it off , If you leave it on and just trim it back and glue it to the cab the bumper sits at the right level the bumper has been heat set and should hold its shape but It is now a little more brittle than normal styrene. All most forgot just trim the sides to the lenght that you want if you have any problems just let me know
