I remember the drilling company I worked for in Manchester acquired one of those from an Army auction. Never used. As new. Straight from the army compound. All the original radio equipment, generators, bakelite handsets were still in it. The gearstick and pedals still had greaseproof paper on them. The company guys took an acetylene bottle and cut the back off to make a pickup. All the interior stuff was dumped. A great machine on site for moving water pumps, drill rods, drums of diese. The front wheels cut a wider track than the back which gave great grip in soft ground. Eventually it was wrecked by vandals on a golf course job. They rallied it around, destroyed the golf course and rolled the truck into a deep ravine. Bent the chassis. End of story. Pity, it was a great little workhorse. Lovely sweet petrol enginel They also had a Bedford RL ex army with a drill rig mounted on it. Fond, but very muddy, memories.

Very tidy what are the ally sides you have put on the body called?

A relic from the days before hydraulics. That's a keeper.

Could you possibly talk with a Northern accent it’s by far a more masculine rather than your Jamaican accent. Thanks.

Am General M35 2.5 Ton cargo truck

Do you know if it has a low range and how to engage it? Do you know how to engage 4 wheel drive? Please demonstrate.

How wide was the bed of the tow truck?

Any more pre-1960s come in let me know!

I spent so many times fixing that kind of truck in the army

Very nice

That’s our one before we bought it

New videos, please! I hope that you are fine all. I m a fan of ww2 era vehicles and admire your hard work and skills.

Out of curiosity, what sort of mpg do these do on white diesel?

They used to use these in the sixtys for driver training passed my test on one in Yeovil

Want to use them in a d-day military parade and other military heavy wrecker expo shows as well they have military truck shows around the world

Not that long ago it would have really sucked living in Europe. What a price to pay

I like the idea of the diesel conversion on that 👍🏻🇬🇧

We had them as service trucks on opencast sites and motorway works, they were ok but heavy on steering and poor turning circle. We went onto TM’s after that, what a difference.

Could you show the suspension?

I loved riding in these trucks as an army cadet in the 90s.

Sounds incredible

Does the diesel engine ,make the crash gearbox easier or more difficult ?

We had about 30 QL Bedfords with our Royal Engineer Regiment in Osnabruck, Germany in the early 1950s.

dutch legend lokout for the fat daf or in dutch dikke daf the YA 328

That was a great job on painting the Austin, not a vehicle you hear about or see on the roads these days, I drove one for a friend many years ago, not the fastest truck on the road 👍👍👍👍

I remember the fumes when you were sat on the troop benches in the back!

That wood floor system was typical on US pick up beds until the 1970’s

Gmc 302 inline 6?

That’s gas pack

??????🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Cool an old Deuce I had one of those I hold firewood with it❤

Well done on the repait gents, hope all is well, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

Hi guys,the Austin is almost in perfect condition, all it will need is a good polish and hey presto, all is done, best of luck with this restoration, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

The Cummins replaced the original Continental Multifuel gas.Also Federals got Cummins.

That poor truck will end up having a brutal brutal life in South American rain forest areas please watch the videos theses trucks have to go through!!!!😢😢😢😢

Remember going in these trucks with my Late Dad, love the sound of them. Shame it can't be saved.

Fantastic.

A very tidy old Bedford but there a pig to drive unless you have unconventional shaped feet and leg's apart from that tidy.
