Bedford CF gearbox wanted urgently

I am looking for a working replacement Bedford CF manual gearbox, 4 speed, Diesel Perkins 108, 1973 Bedford CF ice cream van. Does anyone have anything suitable or know who might? Thanks so much.

Gearbox work done.

Hi,

The gearbox you are looking for is it a Vauxhall Bedford four speed or a ZF type

Hi Dougie - I'm not really sure I'm afraid. It is for an original Bedford CF ice cream van but I don't know much about gearboxes - how do I tell which it is?

Hi.

you said it was a four speed but is it a side mounted gear stick with a long tail shaft or a top mounted gear stick with a short tail shaft, if you look in through the release arm hole in the bell housing you should be able to see if it has a ten spline input shaft or a multi- spline one.

Gearbox change to gearstick side

Hi to all,

Gearbox done and ready to send back for Lloyds ice cream Bedford after a few internal changes, the outside is the easy bit.
