I know a company called First48 does overland trips and they convert all there own trucks themselves, think they have both Ford and Bedford chassis..
I know the Bedford is up for sale for £5000 with all the kit with it...

For anyone thinking of using a Unimog a cautionary tale... these vehicle are not built like a truck but more a tractor, from personal experience i can say they are far from the sort of thing you can do DIY repairs at the side of the road on... if you do want to use one i would stongly suggest a FULL rebuild before you intend to travel but be aware that is not cheap..£10k plus!
