Everything Bedford J3

Hi All,
New here and hoping to connect with those here who have or are restoring the above truck.
I've searched the forum and have found bits and bobs regarding the above truck however i thought it might help to centralise the topic by starting a new topic.
So if those on here have got some valuable lessons learnt, contacts, thoughts or suggestions please let me know.
I'll post some pics soon of the green tipper.
Cheers
Paul

Welcome Pauliey!
You will find that there are some very helpful as well as very knowledgeable blokes on this forum, one of the best one's around.
Cheers, Dave

Thanks Dave!
I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth into this project as its my first.
My grandfather had a J3 as a brick delivery truck so it will be great to honour its history.
I also look forward to engaging with those who have great knowledge and experience!!
Cheers
Paul

Does anyone know if there are digital copies of manuals and where one could download them from.
Cheers

Is there a quick way of determining if I need to replace the rings?

Hi Pauliey and welcome, I have some great tips like how to paint over Winter (see FILLS BEDFORD in forum) might have to go back a page or so under (restoration chat)
Were do you live because the HCVC club has a full set of manuals they meet once a month in club rooms at Boronia Vic.
The HCVC has face book also,I do not know if you have to be a club member
Cheers Fill

Now Fill are you trying to get Pauliey into into the bad books at home by teaching how you do winter painting :evil: :evil: If I tried that here , hell I wouldn't want to know what would happen .
Pauliey welcome to the forum , about the rings situation. . is the engine a goer or have you dismantled it

Colin the truck is going and am about to replace all plugs & leads. I'm also thinking the distributor and fuel filter may need a touch up, your thoughts on this!
Thanks for the tip scratcha on the fuel - what are you running yours on now? I'll look into ACW for the manuals also.
