noel Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm pleased it had a ZF gearbox. Those things are worth good coin in Stockcar Circles. Should get $650 plus easily for it. Ideally it will have the 1.68 3rd gear ratio. 1.41 3rd not as popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 The wheels that are going on the Bedford I'm restoring at work are 15" Falcon steels. They are now away getting widened and will have shiny hubcaps. The owner is very excited- they fill the arches nicely as the Falcon front end is ever so slightly narrower than the CF.

73crownwagon Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 oh wow how on earth did he get a falcon front end in there? sounds like alot of work. has he lowered the back somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This and the CF Alex is working on just give me the wickedest sidepipe every time I look at them. Alex more updates on your project please. Denham more photos of this weeks progress please. (did you get that dizzy BTW?)  Denham - When I have enough money saved up you have to sell me your van. I love how tidy it is and is genuine old man spec rather than filthy hippy/bogan fucked with spec.  I need to own a CF or CA in my lifetime. CA for extra choiceness but CF for actually able to afford and wouldn't feel terrible for driving every day spec. Back that up with a TK/KM DD Truck and an SB2 bus.  Damn I just realised that Bedfords feature in the majority of my automotive desires... I'm fucked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I love these Bedford vans, especially how tidy your one is. Most seem to have had the hippy spec or matte black treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Chris- it must be a general GM love eh? I too want another Bedford. Hannah's TK was choice but not exactly suitable for popping to the shops. Was choice when we did use it to pop to the shops though. Shit- just applying the air park brake was cool. But yeah- a CF would be cool. I would like to make a 4wd CF. Denham? There is a thread on the CF I am doing somewhere about on here. I do need to update... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 My dad had a CF bedford with a 2.3 in it back in the day that he used to tow his stockcar. I wish he still had it, These things are lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular in Stockcars due to their short length and reasonably strong, don't weigh a tonne either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
