Bedford cab/chassis
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:21:04 AM »
I'm doing some research before jumping in with both feet. I'm looking at the cab/chassis as a means of moving my 6 cyl LJ Torana to & from race meetings,as well as a second vehicle. I currently have a Dyna that is 600mm too short & a car trailer. Being a Holden, 6 cyl, & from the 70's/80's makes them very appealing. Which of the CF's would be the prefered model to carry the car, which weighs about 1100kg.

Hi Warren

There have been a few banana backed cab chassis on ebay recently, several were relisted

but you could start with something like THIS ONE

How mechanically adept are you, as any vehicle of this age will require some TLC

I used to be vague..................Now I'm not so sure

I've been looking at this one. I'm a mechanic, so restoring a vehicle isn't much of a problem.

In my experience most mechanics have enough sense to avoid these.  ;) ;D

Sometimes you need a reason to bang your head up against a wall. :D
