Hi Richard. Thanks for your reply. I have not looked on the pasanger side of the chassis. But there is a small tag on the drivers side just behind the cab with the chassis number on it. I have the Bedford at War book and if its a OY the engine and chassis numbers put it at an early 1940. But when looking on the OW page they have the same engine and chassis numbers that would make it a 1945. It is registered as a 1945. This was what is confusing me. Unfortunately I don't have any history or the truck. Thanks Andy
Hi All. A couple of photos, the dash. Painted numbers on the cad engine panel and rear dif. The cad has a plate over what may have been an observation hole. It has a twin wheel rear axle and o ly one fuel tank on the drivers side. Not sure if it's a OY or OW any help would be useful. Thanks.
Hi David. Thanks for that. I have seen war time photos with twin rear wheel axle. I did read that some of the early production had twin wheel rear axle. If its dry on Saturday I will try and take some photos to post on here. Andy.
Hi Baz many thanks for the info. It has the twin wheel rear axle. I have not really looked at it to closely as it arrived in the dark. I have covered it up for. I have a list of jobs to finish on the house before I start on it.
Hi Baz many thanks for your reply. I am new to ww2 vehicles. I have just purchased a Bedford oy Project. The bedford is registered as a 1945. After looking in the Bedfords at war book the chassis and engine numbers put it as a 1940. I am interested to try and find out the history of the vehicle if that's possible. Would the contract number be on a plate somewhere on the vehicle? Thanks Andy
