Hi Bedford team riders, my name is Gus from Tasmania and ive got a 1976 CF 350 light truck. it s great.
 im a chef and looking at turning her into a food vending venture machine with a classic edge of sorts!   with a holden blue v8, with 200 litre lpg which im not sure is legit, and heaps of hz holden mods... she still needs work. not registered but getting close to roadworthy, been working on it for half a year and got her up and running this week!

i stumbled accross this site acciidently while on bedford.co.uk there was a link somewhere. and since then ive spent half of today searching forums for tweaks and tips,

 i know jack about mechanics, but thanks to my bedford i have already learned how to rewire a new ignition switch, other minor electrics, replaced a needle and seat in a carb (that was dumping fuel) and fixed a network of numerous other issues, and now thanks to BUGA im not stopping now!   on  the road soon.
