Hi all
It all takes time got the rubber boots for clutch and brake peddles, rubber for foot peddle. A friend made me the plastic slides for the boots I looked for two years for them I was going to cut down pipe but my friend made me six ( I have enough to last one hundred and fifty years )

May be Fill you could sell a kit I'm sure there's other Bedford restorers facing the same problem wish I'd thought of that when I was doing my resto

Old trucks will make you poor but not unhappy

Any update, however minor.

Thanks, Jarrod.

Keep the news and ideas coming, Fil. It's all good stuff.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
