1948ish Bedford M type chassis

Looking at scrapping before December.

PDU, here is a thought that may save your skin when "Her indoors" as I am told they say in England, comes home:

Tell her the D Type is mine and you are just storing it until I can come and get it. When You are ready to start working on it, tell her I have been unable to find a way to get it and have given it to you in exchange for you storing it.

Fabulous idea Morris, could you ring me direct . . .

We all love a good plan, lets see how it goes !

Well the M type chassis is really on borrowed time now.

Meanwhile Ernie and I brought the D type home, dodging rain and sliding through the odd mud patch, or two, or three. After about ten kilometres we stopped to check everything was okay, which it was, and Ernie said at our age we shouldn't be having as much fun as this. :lol:

We started at 50kph, upped it to 60 after about 5km, and then let it all hang loose at 70 on the short section of bitumen which included a one lane bridge that my intrepid assistant was dreading. :lol: Basically a dream ride home until Ernie got the wheels crossed up coming through the gate, which made getting the tail end off the road several minutes of angst. But nothing damaged and we completed our little 60km jaunt in about an hour.




After taking my co-pilot home I spent the afternoon having a general workout shunting things around to get the truck into the carport out of sight. Big problem was needing to turn it around in a driveway barely a metre wider than the length of the truck! :huh:





Note the very clean M type chassis, hint, hint. The body on the D type is really much better than it appears, which leaves me wondering what I'm going to do with it!? :oops:

Over and out.

Quick, shut the door in front of it before it is seen.

I sourced a headlight bucket out of a D Bedford today if you still need one. Left hand side

When you say bucket, are you referring to the part the headlight sits in, the ring that goes around the headlight unit, or both.

Could you show a picture of what you have.

If it is the piece I'm looking for then yes I am interested.

Hi can you ring me on 0427506552
Thanks

Wife is home, hasn't noticed anything yet, I'm still alive last time I checked. Tomorrow is when the fan might get dirty.

bel, I rang you but no response, will try again Friday.

Morris, bear with me, I'm getting there (slowly).
