Title: New Idea
Post by: Bas / NZ on April 27, 2012, 06:08:35 AM
Had a thought, so please hear me out, as this is very rear indeed, please vote for the above. I know this is a Bedford site, but what about a post that every one can take a part in, and that is a post on Chevy and Dodge vans ( as they are close to the Bedford shape) not just any van but ones that have some custom work done on them that is different , as this can be transferred to a Bedford if someone likes it. Any way just a thought...........

A sample...

I dont have a problem with that Bas, it was a 75 chev van shape that first turned me onto custom vans, then i saw my first beddy and the rest is history, i have a beddy shaped coffin already picked out. lol
And yep i recon 60% of my vans ideas came out of the chevy vans i have seen. I'm in bas.

Now this is a nice consealed front, would graft onto a Bedford real Well.

Yes this has been done to a Bedford, maybe its time to do it again. (David)

Taillights in the Bumber, I guess this has been done on the Bedford using The Holden Bumper.

(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s171/craig8056/Picture028.jpg)

Double split rear doors, nice rebated taillights

Ok a bit of a radical one here (Chevy), but but not out of the question for a Bedford to take this shape. Showed this because of one feature, the new look Wheel Arch's in the last couple of photo's

Now take a look at the new set of wheel arch's, this is a first time I have seen this done.

 You Guys with Gull Wing side doors might be interested in this set up. IT DOES THE FRONT AND SIDE DOOR IN ONE.......

It lifts my 225 pound door with ease. It's rated at 1300 pounds

Ok for today, take a look at these doors, even the side gulwing is on a angle..... and a different bumper

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f248/vanagodrag/camera682.jpg)

And if you really want a different front end, there is always this...

(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m199/wookeesvan/11th%20nationals/radicalcanadian3rdgen.jpg)

I like this window set up, Bay and standard looks good.
