  • The Bedford is back and crazier than ever before!
    Today on The Skid Factory we take a look at what's been changed Since we last saw the Bedford and then fit up a new @Hughes Performance 4L80E race transmission.
    Want to go fast like Millsi? Give Hughes a call www.hughesperfo...
    Millsi would like to thank -
    His brother Dave Miller for the countless hours modifying and fabricating the Bedford to what it is now : / millerchassissydney
    Damon at The Coating Garage for ceramic coating the exhaust manifold and turbine housing / thecoatinggarage
    Jez at Karnage Customs for the intercooler and radiator mounting.
    George at Brakes Direct for upgrading the Hopper Stopper brakes.
    Troy for all the Body work repairs
    Jesse manners from Goleby's parts for going above and beyond ordering parts and chasing suppliers

    G'DAY Guys, congratulations on getting the old Bedford back in the workshop, watching this VLOG, brought back some very interesting memories, and reminding of busted knuckles,when in 1978-1979 found a "Powered by Holden", YAYthe 202! Bedford van in a paddock in Central Queensland, and at the same farm a smashed 1976 HX LE MONARO,so for a grand total of $2,500, the long process of fitting the MONARO running gear consisting of a stout 308& turbo 400 with 12 bolt rear end,into the Bedford Van, including internal refit with Double bed,12 Volt TV,Stereo, turntable ( still had vinyl then), storage cupboards,primus cooktop,huge Esky,full carpenter tool kit safely stored, exterior painted Blue metallic acrylic,claim to fame,was first vehicle fitted with mobile phone in Queensland at the time,mid 80's,was a 015 prefix,box under seat measured 500mm×600 mm,calls cost $2.00 per minute! Ended up on Gold Coast as a workvan for a pop-up irrigation systems installer,

    Just wanted to say. Good Job Woody.I Heard Al something about you being able to pick up the transmission mount under there , and all I hear is..
    " Yeah.... I got it...... " As in, hush. I'm good here. And it was. Nice to see how well you all have come along for making lovely looking videos. The undersides of cars are not really photo friendly.

    FYI, all Chevy auto transmissions have a convertor setback from the stock bellhousing flange of 1 inch, measured between the mounting bosses where the torque convertor bolts are threaded in, to the bellhousing flange. This is true of Powerglides, Th-series (th350, th400, etc), 200r4 and 700r4, and the 4l60 and 4L80 versions.
