Stretched Bedford
« on: April 18, 2013, 02:23:29 PM »
Hey just wondering if anyone has done a stretched Beddy. I've just bought a van for parts.It has a rough body. Was thinking of do a stretch on it in the future instead of completely wrecking it out and junking it.

Any thoughts? Has it been done? Any pics?

OK so it has been done. Thought it probably had but it has gone way further than I had in mind. I thought of adding maybe a metre or so, not turning it into a semi!

I was thinking of making a longer campervan was all.

Thanks for the input.

Theres alot of work that went into that van. I admire the effort and skills. The final appearance is not really for me, tho i love it all the same

There is a jumbo van here in NZ thats been extended, running a midmounted 400 chev (original engine placement from back of van), only seen photos of it but bodywork on it was very ripply .

just do a tandem, only need slight extension

I'm going to win the USA lottery (100 mill) and am going to hoard bedfords, until I have one of every type of custom *evil grin*
