History: The Bedford OXD was a 30cwt 4×2 General Service truck widely used by British and Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. Known for its simplicity, ruggedness, and reliability, it was deployed across Europe, North Africa, and the Far East for transporting troops, supplies, and equipment. The wooden-bodied OXD variant offered quick repairability and was often fitted with canvas covers to protect cargo from the elements. Its vital contribution to wartime logistics made it one of the unsung workhorses of the Allied effort.
