They still use them today, although Bedford doesn't exist anymore so they can't buy new ones, I guess they just keep them well maintained. -- Last edit: 2006-06-17 18:42:27

This was after a company called 'AWD' buying the remains of the Bedford business from GM in 1986. 'AWD' then failed to win the army contract for new business and folded.
