bedford diff

[Bas / NZ]

Yes but you have to take it a little easy, as it takes a little bit longer to build up speed, but preforms much better.

Yeah I got a Mk1 bedford camper. with 173 holden motor with orginal gearbox and had creasta pinion.

Because my bedford is a camper back I thinking of changing to a different diff. I searching the web at moment for diff sizes.

From what I have read so far the bedford diff is 67.7 inches. is this the axle width of is this to centre of wheels?

I am looking at american vechicals. as I can modify the internal wheel arches easy enough and I have 15x8 mags waiting to go on it.

just use a salizbys, how ever you spell it
the fords came out with the 2: range and commodore came out with the 3: range, some others came out with other including 4:'s
they come in 2 and 4 spider (use the 4) and lsd, the bedford axles are the same spline as the common sized one but about a millimeter thicker in axle size, the groves need to be deepened a fraction

iwas quoted $340 ish per rear wheel bearing os swaped mine out for a sleeved 10 bolt with 3.08 ratio, that i already had
was tpld the falcon is an easy swap .. get a ute or panel van center and sleeve the bedford tubes to it
and as busy said get the axel spline moded .. wont help with getting cheaper wheel bearing kits tho
