Does anyone have any information on this Bedford truck?

I need the dimentions, and a photo of the rear. (Of real one, not model

)

Thanks for your help!

It helps very much, Thanks!

Do you know what engine it used?
And do you have a photo of the engine?
Also, was it RWD or 4WD?

the power plant for the 4x2 bedford was 6-cylinder OHV 3.5 litre.
I just noticed that are two heights:
2.29m or 7ft 6in with GS tilt and
1.93m or 6ft 4in with GS tilt.

I have no idea what GS tilt is but I thought you might know and want the info.
I do not have a picture of the engine but I do have a picture of the truck I can try and scan it and email it to you if you want it for ref. It would not be until this weekend though.
That is a cool little truck are you planning on make one?

I think GS Tilt is another saying for "Rake", as in the back sits higher than the front, but im not sure.

Well, you guessed it, im going to try to make one, if I can figure out how to make the wheels. The front wheels look very similar to the Hanomag's wheels, but im not going to rip them off mine.

I have never tryed to built anything 1/18 scale from scratch though.
