Hello all, my name is Drew and i'm new to this site, i hope i'm posting correctly as i have never done this before i have a Bedford CF camper van that i bought out of South Australia. Super happy with it and already done a few road trips. Since buying it i've changed it to an automatic (trimatic attached to a holden red 186 engine), electronic ignition, replaced alternator, shock absorbers and changed to halogen headlights. i've got a few questions but not sure how to start a new thread. Main question i have is, has anyone ever changed the axle and front brakes from a dual wheeler to a normal short wheelbase CF. Cheers, Drew

Hi, as this section suggests - I'm new to the BUGA. I'm actually looking for a CF Bedford in reasonably good condition - anyone out there have suggestions - I'm just north of Brisbane.
Thanks

Hi all, I'm Stevo I have a 1976 Millard Starcraft on a CF350 long wheelbase.
Just fitted a 9" with Bedford brakes. Like those 70mm shoes. Has the 202 traumatic in it.
Looking to fit a bigger engine, but not sure what. I favor an inline six.
4.1 ford, 4sp auto maybe, but the sump is not positioned well.
Looking forward to learning from somebody that's been down this road before.

have a look at the cummings diesel     https://cumminsengines.com/uploads/docs/4971326.pdf   I actually thinking of another change they will bolt up to most transmissions so when you order it tell em what transmission you have etc worth a thought  can get very good economy too
