you mean Lance cryer ... i think he dumped all the CF parts. He didn't have panels, just parts

I put someone on to him the other week for parts and he claimed he only wrecked bedford trucks.

Where abouts are you Bedford_freak_nz ?
I know someone up here in Auckland that might have one but wouldn't be cheap

I'm in Wellington, and I know it wont be cheap.. My van only needs that door and it will be on the road after a 7 year wait..
I'd be interested in whats available in Auckland.. Got hold of the guy in Thames, and he wished me good luck.. lol

Pick-a-Part in Wingate get them through occasionally. Keep an eye on their online stock listing. They're usually listed under 'Ford'.  ::)

The one at Pick A Part in Mangere is knackered. I might know of another one but its for a CF1. So apart from the different inside door opener is there any difference between a CF1 and CF2 door ?

The mk1 came out with 2 versions, the early had the push or pull inside door handle and the later came with the pull out inside handle (like the mk2), the mk1 also came in two different inside variations around the door handle/window winder.
The real early ones had the steel screw in panels with the 'lump' across the top section of the inside of the door, the later came out with a door trim (cardboard).
The mk1 doors came out with a thin steel door pull, while the facelift came out with a curvy hard plastic pull and the mk2 came out with a hard squared plastic one.

A lot of mk2's came out with black outside handles too.
The real early mk1 didn't come out with a key barrel in the passenger door

The outside shape and even the guts of the doors are the same.

The van is at the customizer at the mo and would rather get my own rather than swapping them over again but would be interesting to see if they are compatible
