BODY GAS WELDING No 2 mk - gwl cont no23/58658 ser no 21246b 
 

when would this have been produced?

does anyone have a picture of what it would have looked like?

Hi Ian hope your well. Came across this restoration of yours. The trailer looks like the one i have. Can you Shed any light on this one i have.

There is a plaque that says BODY GAS WELDING No 2 mk - gwl cont no23/58658 ser no 21246b

The cab as you can see has a few holes in it.

I’m trying to save as much of the metal as possible.

Had to replace the rear cross member.

This is putting my metal forming and welding to the test.

Not perfect but i’m happy with the work, it can only get better.

Work so far after a few day. 
Every time i take a section apart to repair i found more holes.

got a bit of time on my hands at the moment so i’ve finally started the cab repair’s and there is a lot.

Hello guys

I know this thread was posted some time ago, but I'm looking to how Bedford Ql air portables would have been built, and broken down to transport.

Do any of you have a information about this or where I might be able to found any more information out about this?

thanks

Emerson

I am trying to find information about the Bedford ql's that where changed so they could be stripped down and transported.

After pictures?

Instructions on how to strip down for transportation?

How you could tell which vehicles where air portable?

Where the main parts held together using a different method to make the vehicles easy to dismantle?

Any information at all would be good?

Thanks

Thanks Mike

Hi Everyone

I am restoring a 1942 Bedford QLT. I am looking at getting a canvas for the body and was wondering what colour it might have been?

I know there was a shortage of supplies around 1942. The vehicle is being painted in SCC 2 (Brown).

Would the canvas have been khaki or brown?

I have not been able to find much relating to the canvas and when I speak to supplies I just keep getting offer us olive drab.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for all the information.

Morning

Hoping someone maybe able to help me.

Can anyone tell me why some vehicles that where produced during WWii have 3 letters then 3 numbers  (VYX 634) in stead of 2 number 2 letter 2 numbers.(82 RB 41).

I’ve just got hold of an original QL wiring loom. It’s amazing how execlent the condition it is. When i’m ready to use it i just hope it self explanatory  as no labrls on the ends.

Hopefully next week i can finish the front brakes and have the chassis standing on its own wheels again
