The Bedford S was a heavy truck produced in Britain between 1950 and 1959 and known as the Big Bedford.

Description

The S was launched at the Commercial Vehicle Show in 1950.[1] Known as the "Big Bedford", it was the largest Bedford truck available at the time, with a gross vehicle weight of {{convert|7|LT|kg|abbr=out}}.

Propulsion

The truck was originally fitted with a {{convert|4.92|l|in3|abbr=on}} 6-cylinder Bedford petrol engine that produced {{convert|110|bhp|abbr=on}} at 3200 rpm.[1] Drive was through a four speed manual gearbox that introduced synchromesh to the top three gears. Final drive in the rear axle was by hypoid gears. The Perkins R6 diesel engine was made an option in 1953, soon joined by the Leyland O.350, and Bedford's own diesel in 1957.[2]

Use

The Bedford S was used extensively by haulers and general trades through the 1950s and 1960s. The chassis was used for fire engines and to carry the first liquid egg tanker.[3]
