From Pakistan, Hitting the age of 72, but still into jeeps. I spent my childhood in a hill-station here known as Abottabad. Studied in Burn hall School run by Catholic fathers . I have fond memories of these Bed ford trucks though most were with bus bodies. These buses disappeared with the advent of Bed ford J series diesel engine vehicles which still ply the roads here.

Can i buy the engine off you will it fit in a j1 bedford ?
@grantpearce37493 жыл бұрын
Haha yeah no probs. Will definitely fit. J Series come out with the 300 motor. My A5 has the smaller engine bay and it still squeezes in nice and snug. I noticed who ever fit into my truck all they had to do was mount front engine cross member forward more. Roughly 2 inches.
