Project scout

[whatthe?]

I have to agree with you. There is just something about a scout

Rust?:haha::haha:

 

[offroadguys]

Scouts (rust buckets) are for people that are'nt afraid of a huge project.
I am trying to atleast have it driving by the laborday weekend campout, if nothing else. It may not be on the tires I want, but hey she'll be a runnin.

Scouts are for people who can't get Toyota's or Patrol's.:redneck::redneck::kiss: Keep cutting out that rust, try to be done for our Labor Day campout.

I just picked up a 69 800a a couple weeka ago. Little rust spots on mine since it was garaged most its life. Good projects that for sure!

 

[offroadguys]

Thats a rare find. Are you going to do total rebuild?

Thats a rare find. Are you going to do total rebuild?

In the process of installing a 345 from a scout 2 in it. Bought a painless wiring kit. Fuel cell. Reverse shackle for the front and 4 link the rear. D44 from the scout 2 I have. Family cage and 35's or 37's. Throw some paint on it and wheel.

Bought it from a guy in portland for $400.

 

[offroadguys]

Throw up a thread I want to see some pics! $400 did it have a title?

 

[offroadguys]

Heres what I did today, removed factory motor mounts, removed the drum brakes from my 14bolt, welded in the other rear quarter patch.

Still have to cut this out and weld in a new patch for the top rail. I'll probably do that this week.

Came with no title. Dmv found the title owner and I have contacted them. They have released the title and I will have it shortly. No progress yet. Still have to pull the 304 out of it.

Scouts are over rated.

Good luck on your build. Hope to see this **** box in Naches.

Alright guys, I have run into a slight problem: I am not going to be able to use the 32 spline setup I was originally going to go with because the idiot that I bought the transmission from gave me the wrong adapter that goes between the two. Apparently there is a shorter adapter and a longer one. The adapter is about a inch and half to two inches to short. So, tonight I am going to get yet another SM465 and a Np205. Sadly they're 10 spline. (I think)

Good to see a corn binder build.I got a 64 Scout as my first rig when I was 14 and my dad had a Travell all.Looks like you have done a lot of great work and I like your drivetrain choices.:beer:

So who's the idiot, they guy that sold it or the one that paid for it?

 

[offroadguys]

Well I didnt know at the time that he didnt give me the right one. You would think he knows what he has :flipoff:

 

[whatthe?]

Or you think you'd know what you were buying.:eeek::looser::kiss:

 

[offroadguys]

This is about where the motor is going to sit

A little customizing.... Good thing IH has a super crappy fabber friendly interior!

Much better.

Motor mounts all welded in

 

[whatthe?]

The motor mounts turned out well.

 

[offroadguys]

Thanks... I am going to pull the body off today.

Heres where the body is going to be sitting for the next couple months.

Frame too!

I am not going to fix this right away I'll probably get it running first.

66LBS!!! Thats rediculous for one drum. -132LBS to the scout.

 

[offroadguys]

frame makes great yard art!

Had to remove the factory scout emblems this is what I came up with for a tool (brake line taped to a 3/8 wrench):

If anyone wants this dana 30 let me know.. $50 all or parts
