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.

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

Double split rear doors, nice rebated taillights

Sounds like a good idea, if you give me the finished vans ;)

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

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
