Matt, I think that Richard had to raise the cab up an inch or two to fit the later Bedford engine in. You might need to check that if you are going to do a proper restoration. From memory, the bottom of the cab should be close to level with the bottom of the chassis member. Richard F. can confirm that for you.
Back in 1973 I worked for a steel company in Melbourne and one of the workmates had an OY 3 tonner as a furniture removal van in St.Kilda. It was painted red and we would use it mostly on weekends to move peoples furniture and belongings. Quite often it would be a midnight flit, but the money was good. Never asked any questions, but would wonder (haha!) why they would move house at 10:00pm on a Saturday night. I don't know what ever happened to that one, but that is the reason why I was interested in this one.
Regards Rick.
