What the web says about the J1 Bedford Truck: The 1960 Bedford J1 was a light- to medium-duty British truck produced by Vauxhall’s Bedford division as part of the long-running J-series lineup, known for its reliability, simplicity, and robust construction. Positioned between the smaller CA vans and heavier Bedford S-series trucks, the J1 typically featured a 3.52-litre inline-six petrol engine, a ladder-frame chassis, and rear-wheel drive, making it well-suited for delivery work, municipal use, and small-business hauling. Its straightforward mechanical design, ease of maintenance, and strong aftermarket support helped it earn a reputation as a dependable workhorse across the UK and Commonwealth markets.
