1948ish Bedford M type chassis

I'm not looking for a fortune, just a reasonable and sensible offer. It must be of use to someone? Too good to scrap but I need it gone and would be happy to see it go to someone who needs it.
Formerly from a restoration project. Was sandblasted and rebuilt. When I bought it I removed the wheels and unused (new) tyres, new universals, and rebuilt brake cylinders. The rear axle and diff are still with it, as are the brakes shoes and drums, all were apparently reconditioned also.
My old tailshafts and universals are included, but not the wheels that are on it (I will leave these on to assist loading before removing). NB Spare wheel and step mountings are in good condition, as is the chassis itself.

LOCATED In Crystal Brook, South Australia.

ALSO I'm looking for some parts for a 1957 Bedford D type truck, in particular a headlight surround and front chrome pieces. (See blind in one eye picture below.)


Any interest or assistance PM me, or alternatively throw a comment in my A is for Austin B is for Bedford blog.

PDU,
Excuse my ignorance of Badfords but is the M type chassis similar to a K type? If so, I will tell a mate of mine who has a K type with disc wheels and is looking for chassis parts for a restoration that is a little way down is list of projects.

How long is the chassis? I can loan him my tandem trailer with a 20 foot bed.
PS I am still kicking myself that I did not buy that Austin from you.
Morris.

Morris, it will fit on a twenty foot trailer with no problem and I could throw in some decidedly crap wheels and tyres to make the whole process easier.

Considering the distance you need to come I would let it go for $200; like my Austin too cheap (I should never had sold it ) but both are/were surplus to my needs and I need the space.

Thaznks,
sill let ohn know. If he is not interested, I will tell "Bedford Bouff."

Previous message sent in a hurry and I had heaps of trouble trying to type what I wanted. I messaged John and asked him to get back to me.

I thought it was in code and had me beat.

Could I please stress the missing headlight rim, does anyone have one? This Bedford is blind in one eye and really needs one . . .



Not overly fussed about the headlight itself but the rim surrounding it - compare the RHS and LHS. :oops:

Slip a cake tin in place! :whistle: :whistle:

I have considered as much . . . :lol:

This is off a J series Bedford, is it similar to the one you are looking for? ]
