k6 austin Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thought I would run this one past you all!!! Were the cabs for Austin "K" series, Bedford "O" series and civillian Morris Commercial all made by the same firm!?!?!? I was at a rally over the weekend and thought how similar the cab on a 46 Morris was to my K6? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6 austin Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Graham Wondered if this may help in my quest for windscreen frames!?!?!? Are you taking your K6 to Beltring? regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 This is an intresting one. I know with the bedfords some cab pannels were similar to pre war ones. The O type cab of course, was used for allot of bedford models, and it was also used on the scammell scarab. I think there are slight variations between different manufactures, i dont think bedford o type cabs are the same as the austin K type, there just very similar, i think its just the style of truck at the time.

Radek Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Has Bedfords the cab longer than the Austins? Look on the doors windows. Austin has only one sliding down and the bedford has this one and the small triagel window. Radek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
