Hey George,

I have some teeth from a chook for you.
 :)

Check out:  http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bedford-CF-LWB-/120821030635?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item1c217e9eeb - on ebay as we speak.

Azazhq, maybe you can do something with that one.

Isn't it amazing what comes through once you 'put it out there'!

Hey mty, considering leyland only built something like 70  P76s, i think you will find they are as rare as.  As for the transit, well they are still a bit hard to get a hold of, only because they are so reliable, not to many end up at the wreckers. As for how easy are they to fit, well once we had all the templates made up, and bits and pieces, it took a full day to install, and the transit sits at 45deg, and P76 sits flat like the beddy rack. It took a couple of hrs to fabricate the new mounting bracket, but from there it just bolted up nice and easy. you could buy a transit rack new from ford, doing that, yes they are readily available, second hand not so easy. So good luck whichever way you go, for me though, the idea of being able to pick one up over the counter feels good.

There was actually about 16,000 P76's built. You'll still find some at wreckers.

I would probably go for the Transit rack, only because it's a bit more common.

The P76 rear bumper is also a good fit for the Bedford, seen this done a few times.
