The Bedford M series was a line of commercial vehicle chassis, the first variants of which were made in 1939. A normal control 4-wheel chassis designed to carry loads of 2-3 tons, there were two wheelbase lengths offered – 10' 0" or 11' 11" – and each was fitted with a standard 3.5-litre OHV 6-cylinder petrol engine developing 76 bhp. A 4-speed gearbox with single dry plate clutch delivered power to a floating rear axle with spiral bevel final drive. Brakes were Lockheed hydraulic type and Clayton Dewandre vacuum assisted operating on all four wheels. Production of the M-Type ceased in 1953 when it was replaced with the TA model.
