The chassis number is most commonly located near the left-hand front Spring “front hanger”stamped into the chassis rail facing outwards.
Some Earlier 1930s , 1940’s and some buses can have the chassis number stamped into the chassis rail facing outwards, but around the left-hand front Spring “rear hanger”.
Also, up to around 1954, a chassis number Metal tag can be found riveted to the right hand, front chassis rail top flange near the Steering box.
Bedford K, M & O Overview
Bedfords were derived from Chev in 1931 with the W model that had a Bedford engine not a Chev engine.
The K,M & O engines where classed as the 27 horse power and the O model engine 28 horse power; only because of the bigger carburetor fitted later on.
Even though the K, M & O Models started in 1939 when the W models finished, Australia saw most of their K, M & O models from 1947 on-wards due to the War.
