General

The Bedford TK is a truck that was produced by the Vauxhall-owned Bedford company. The TK range replaced the S type in 1959 and served as the basis for a variety of derivatives including fire engines, military, horse boxes, tippers, flatbed trucks and other specialist utilities. The British Armed Forces still use four-wheel drive Bedford MKs — a variant of the TK.

Available with 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder petrol and diesel engines the TK was the quintessential light truck in the UK through most of the 1960s and 1970s, competing with the similar Ford D series. It was available in rigid form and also as a light tractor unit normally using the Scammell coupling form of semi-trailer attachment.
