New member and Bedford owner
 
Hi all,
I am new to this forum thing so you will have to bear with me.
I have just picked up a 1969 SP3 Bedford bus that I am going to make into a house bus but I think it is going to take some time to get it to a livable condtion.
The bus has been re-powered with a Ford motor and it looks like the brakes have no vac hooked up so if any one can send me the specs for the brake system so I can go over the system I would be in there debt.

Cheers :)

Welcome to T&B, Odin.

Here's some information about your vehicle:-

I'm afraid I don't have any details about your braking system - it's many years (45) since I was involved and I no longer have access to the information.

Welcome aboard Mate, good to have another from New Plymouth on here.
It's a great site.
You drive for Hookers.

Hi mate, yes I drive for hookers have for about 3 years now but been driving trucks for about 20 now.
