Hey guys, new to the forum and first post.

Ive recently bought a 1974 Bedford CFS, 3 owner car. has the original bill of sale,  warranty and motor!!!!

Specs:
1974 Bedford CFS
original 173 red motor
second hand 3 speed gearbox

anyway, I'm setting to head of around australia and have read as much as i can on highway diffs etc...

but as ive never messed with a bedford or even bothered with diffs in the past i still have a few questions id love to have answered!

1. Which diff is even in her?
2. Can I just swap the centre out or have custom gears made? (not to keen on replacing the whole rear end)
3. I think id rather buy the celica box and bell houseing setup up, but here aint no way I'm putting a new hole in the floor for the gear stick. I don't think a welded extension will hold up haha. is there any way around this? because like i said, this is preferably what id like to do.
4. is there any other setup or gearing that isnt impossible to come across thatll help my gearing problem?

Appreciate any help!!

ps. money isnt a worry, I understand the costs and am more willing to pay!!
