there is a lot of custom bars in the 4wd scene, I could only imagine some one in that field could make something
up for you without to many issues or at least point you in the right direction, that is failing no one else coming up
with an idea.
And you thought owning a bedford was going to be easy.

just make one out of exhaust tubing and get it chromed, exhaust place would bend it for you and just weld on some plates at the bottom to mount it.  probably be stronger than a lot out there
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

If it was me storm i would just have one made from scratch, that way it will fit perfect with no modifications that can fail or look modified. At best you would probably be looking at about $60 and 15mins for the steel and bending at a muffler shop, and then about $50 to powder coat, or about a $100 and a day to chrome. Either way for less then $200 you get a custom bar that fits your van and looks good. Beats buying one and spending a fortune or hours cutting and modifying.

look at it like this, its criminal that a simple nudge bar can cost you upwards of $500 depending on what model you buy, or company, ie: ECB, TJM and so on, then you have to modify the bar, or worst case start cutting the spoiler on the van to get the right height. Here is a pic of my mate phils van, and his bar. Hope he dont mind. To do a custom one would take a weekend, 2 days depending on chromer or powder coater and the work load. I am doing a bar for my van, and if you have a look at the factory bar i had when i bought the van, thats coming off, and a new custom design is getting built from scratch. Good luck with what you decide to do.
