Differences between Bedford OYC and OYD

[mlombard]

Hi All

This thread could possibly be split into two or renamed (don't know if you can do this). Originally I was after the differences between OYC and OYD's particularly in any chassis alterations, but we got on to the interesting (and still relevant topic) of Bedford OY's and how they go to Australia. I've made a contact or two re the Bedford OY I have and am happy to chase these up away from the forum, but I'd certainly be interested to see it continue to explore just how and why Bedford OY's ended up in Australia. Maybe Mike you'd like to put up the individual chassis no.s etc. that you had and we will see if the production dates of these vehicles can be tracked down, and then some explanations why there seem to be two distinct groups those in the OY5XXXX range and those in the OY7XXXX range, If I ever discover the chassis no. of mine, for sure,, I'll add it to this thread for you to debate. Refugee Cargo from Singapore was a good story, possibly, whilst it lasted, but it may not be correct, that's the joys of history.

Regards

Matt
