Bedford S-type 1950s
What is your favourite lorry of all time?
Bedford's first civilian forward-control truck was the 7-ton S-type or "Big-Bedford" as it was christened by the marketing men. A completely new design concept for General Motors, its style was clearly influenced by the parent company's GMC trucks of the period. Originally fitted with a 110bhp 6-cylinder petrol engine a diesel option in the form of the Perkins R6 arrived in 1953 and in 1958, Bedford's own diesel. The S-type was discontinued in late 1959.
