Booked for 150km, speedo showing from what I can recall was 155km, fully worked 202 Red, trimatic with overdrive, cresta 3.5 rear end. The overdrive being the main reason it can pull 150km no probs, only a little shaking in the van.

Hey Bas,  I'm after one too - overdrive unit that is, and 3.5 gears .....
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"

be handy for fuel economy, cruise on less revs thus less fuel consumption.

I found that an overdrive improved fuel economy marginally depending on diff ratio in the first place. I had a 2.75 ratio 9" added an overdrive then changed diff to 3.5 & ended up with the same economy ( overdrive gave me 5% improvement only over no overdrive). The biggest factor is the frontal area & weight of the van. Swapping the holden six for a 350 chev only dropped my consumption by 6% but I put this down to all the drive train & motor adding 250kg to the weight of my van.The biggest advantage of an overdrive is lower engine revs & makes it a lot quieter & prolongs the life of the motor.
Nothing on a Bedford is reliable--until it's modified
