Bedford restoration intro , tkHLC 1980, new addition to the family, Will it start! 

Thank you, James, for sharing this absolutely beautiful old truck. I definitely have a soft spot for these bedfords. It would be an absolute joy to see the work that goes into fixing this beast up!

These old Bedfords are adored in Pakistan, proper work horse.

Hi James, that was a excellent video, thanks for sharing, the Becfords were great trucks, very best regards from a ex Christchurch lad, now living in Melbourne 👍👍👍👍👍

My father had one of those 1977.

Love the 10 stud wheels on these. They seem so out of place on these trucks.

Lovely old Bedford, well worth saving !! Nice one mate 👍

One of the simplest most reliable vehicles ever made and yes that’s the heater in the middle of the cab. Looked after the variant you have there which in the UK at the time was 16 tonne gross and the earlier models. Good luck yo will have a lot of fun with her I am sure

I remember some of those Bedford truck 24v used to run 4 x 6 volt ⚡ batteries 🔋 but were probably models from the 60's.

That's a great project 👍 I have subscribed I worked with them in the eighties delivering cement blocks, great times, thank you.

I worked in Bedford truck Dunstable 80 to 85 in the cab trim ..Great days ...

I started my truck driving career in NZ in a TK now I’m driving a Kenworth C540 Bigfoot Roadtrain with two engines lol bit of a step up from the Bedford , loved seeing Spa Bush on the door as well.

I have driven this truck it was owned by our neighbours in Southland 500 cubic in engine,good to see it again

james those bedfords are great trucks.!! was very fortunate to do a Young farmer exchange in the yearly 1970s and did grain harvesting near Ashburton, south island.Loved every minute.Sound like this engine is petrol.Keep the great videos.

Lovely old girl 500 engine my dad had the km ❤❤❤

Nice old truck I'm itching to buy one. The 'chuff chuff' engine noise sounds like an inlet valve not seating. But since this video is 2yrs old I guess you already know exactly what was wrong with the beast! I subbed, you're so close to the 1k milestone. (just watched next video in this series, my guess was miles off, I'll be quiet now haha)

"It has a door its in my kitchen" lol awesome we can be friends.

Nice old trucks those !

Nice old girl the KH1470 as we knew her up here.

I love bedford of Pakistan

Never drove anything but Bedford tk's during my 17 years as a house delivery coalman,78\95, when gas eventually killed the trade, perfect height of platform, for hand loading and carrying off, back in the day when every house in country had coal fires,3 and a half ton bedfords loaded with 120+bags, or over 6 ton , overweight by a ton and a half easy, and if by any chance we were ambushed by the WEIGHTS AND MEASURES MEN, because of how fast the coal was going off the lorry we were usually legal, or underweight haha, brilliant lorries, where even a broken accelerator spring could be fixed with a thick elastic band , that the postmen used to drop all over the streets, it would get you back to the yard, and the side flaps, brilliant if you needed a pee, lift the flap and lean in pretending You're looking at the engine haha, just brilliant,hard working and dependable lorries, I also did the signwriting on the lorries,
