Welcome to BUGA Henry. 
When there are only two Beddies left in the world, the owners will still be discussing diffs and brakes!
The search function at the top of the page will bring you lots to read about both.

G'day Jeff / Ben
Thanks for the welcome, Ben I look forward to seeing some vans,

For anyone in Vic I am looking for a spare 15 inch Bedford stud patten rim, my van is running 15's P205 / 65 R 15 but when I pulled the spare out found it to be only 14"

New windscreen in tomorrow & hopefully R/W rego next week and then were cruise'n

 205x70x14 is the same diameter as 205x65x15.
Ok for a spare if you can't find a wheel.

Welcome to buga Henry, you could go the Turbocharger route as they are very
affordable now especially for the holden 6,  I had a turbo strata 3 Kit on my beddy 179
hp holden 6 when it was practically standard and made a tremendous performance
boost,  I swapped that motor to another beddy owner (ross) for his 350 chev which
came out of his Monaro, I think he came out front as did not have to go though to
many Mods to make it fit into his Bedford, as for high speed diffs chech the buga
