Nice piece of history there Adam
I know I've showed you these before
There's unlikely to be any survivors, mine was on a 1972 van I think and the bed was so rotten, I scrapped the bed in 1978
They were tough but as soon as the paint scratched off, the rot began

Thanks again for posting keef
I've got 7 car's/commercial projects
So I have got enough to work through
But I'd love to build a walker body MK1 transit
I saw one once, and that was late 70s
I was born 71
So I was young but I never forget what I'd seen
And it was same colour as your truck
Someone Said that British gas had some
How true that is I'm not sure
My dad almost bought a twin wheel Bedford mk1 CF
That had a walker body on it (again late 70s)
I spotted outside a car sales
Next Day dad asked about it, sold
So missed that one
That was dark blue
Looked ex navy
But the body on the transit and Bedford are not the same
So only chance I think is make one
I've got 90 % of the information needed though make one
The rest could be worked out as you build it
But I've had my MK1 project since 2011

Id want it just like that grey one
Looks the business
Dont think it be a very good idear to paint rear body yellow
Haha

Was thinking about it last night
And don't think he said British gas
Think he Said southern water board
Or just water board
Had walker body MK1 transit
How true that is who knows
Because it's red its ex post office
Yellow ex AA
Green it's Arrods
Capital A

Surprise surprise the site where they built the body's is now a block of flats
Not a big plot must have been tight with body's being made lorry's coming and going etc
And possibly a waiting list
Unless they had storage somewhere else
But I dought it
Made to order only
Did they fit them or just send them out?
There's probably some old boy up there somewhere who use to work there
