Welcome from up north Bedfordman,like you say the J series was the nearest the Brits got to their Chevy cousins.

Mainland Europe got the Opel Blitz which was the closest to the AD (Advance Design) series of Chevy trucks which as you may know was never officially imported to our little island to my knowledge.

Nice shot of the Big Bedford in action. (Ex Military I presume?)
