Will this 1962 Tj Bedford Truck move?

[@allanhasted6572]

Used to drive a Bedford like yours as wrecker (with a1940s ex army crane on the back ) back in the mid 70s bloody hard work driving it as i remember

[@angusfoley1249]

Well done in getting it started and moving. Great looking truck.

[@trentryan27]

That's kool, should restore the drive train and brakes, all the important bits and leave the body looking exactly like it does now, that be awesome

[@ruyboxe]

any updates on the Bedford?

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

Gotta find brakes for it.

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

We also just put some welsh plugs in it because they were leaking like a siv. We are gonna send the water pump away to be refurbished as well. When all that’s done, gotta fix brakes and then onto cosmetic work

[@ruyboxe]

@@Michaelalsoporchard great... in my country there are many bedford and I have a dream to transform one like an american pick up hot rod....

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

@@ruyboxe I'm working on convincing dad to 454 big block swap it, or small block, or 300tdi. Haven't had much luck yet.

[@denniseldridge2936]

Well I remember these trucks being the vehicle of choice for heavy lifting here in Bermuda, so it's great to see one being resurrected :-)

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

Very cool!

[@scottbarrowman942]

That Land Rover should be the next project.

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

We were planning that but everyone loved it sooo……. You are absolutely correct my friend

[@scottbarrowman942]

@@Michaelalsoporchard . I just love the old Landies.

Same we have 4 😂

[@andysaunders3708]

They're a very good looking truck. Sorry, but it's true, you Ford people.

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

I hate fords and I know it’s a good looking truck

[@andysaunders3708]

@@Michaelalsoporchard One of the nicest looking vehicles produce by UK GM -Vauxhall, along with the PA model Velox/Cresta, and maybe the FD Victor/Ventora.

[@denniscahill9683]

Someone...seems a bit excited about the project!

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

Yeah! Definitely

Unas lijas y un poco de convertidor de óxido, para la cabina de ese bedford !! 😁👌🖒

Ripper little truck

hello brother aslam walekum i am from pakistan i work as backport vehicle Red Fort Train Timing and Hourly Work

[@andysaunders3708]

One of the most stylish trucks ever built, IMHO. The 6 was reliable and bullet-proof, but slow and thirsty. The brakes??? Hmmmm. Small-block Chev swap, every time.

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

Might do a cab swap or front axle conversion. Maybe 🤔

[@andysaunders3708]

Wet the rubber - cuts easier.

[@andysaunders3708]

Better hope that it doesn't have the horrible master cylinder/booster thing under the cab floor - so bizarre, yet so useless.

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

I’ll have a look for the master cylinder under the floor. Thankyou because we had no clue where to find it! If it’s there we’ll probably use it.

[@andysaunders3708]

@@Michaelalsoporchard Did you find it? They're bloody expensive to fix - e.g. in 1994, it was over NZ$700.00. It was worth it, as it was one of the last of the line, and was in super-good condition. They're also rather awful to remove the rear brake drums from - there is a special Sykes-Pickavant puller than gets it done in seconds flat. Nothing else seems to work, apart from a gas-axe. This has drawbacks...

[@Michaelalsoporchard]

@@andysaunders3708 I’ll look when I’m at dads again because my father is away for two weeks so I’ll look on Saturday when I go there

Hey Andy. I found the master style set after weeks of forgetting! Thanks a lot maye
