Been coming on here for a while and im very impressed with the amount of people still building some very impressive vans
I owned a very nice bedford (Slave Bound) from 84 to 87 that i got off the orignal builder (Henry Schmidt)
It had a 340 Chrysler, side pipes, 9inch, massive wheels, shaved, custom paint, fully trimmed etc etc
Was an awesome cruiser and drew a massive amount of attention - still miss it
sold it to and American guy that was traveling oz and it was last seen n 89 in QLD (im NSW) and has never been heard about since
Would love to know what became of it

I ws looking for a van a few months back and kept looking for a Bedford but i just couldnt find one that wasnt rusted out for a reasonable price so i ended up with a WB but ill still be coming in here looking on with envy at what some of you guys are putting together
