Hey all, I've been lurking on this thread for a while, but finally decided to share some of my build that I'm working on currently. This is the third scout I've owned. The first vehicle I ever purchased was a 1975 scout 2 which I owned throughout high school, my second was a 69 800A with a 4 banger. I sold the 69 about 7 years ago after moving to southern California. Well, a little over a year ago I convinced my wife to let my buy another....In comes the green machine. I'm now wrenching on a '70 800A, 304, 4sp, originally from Arizona truck. Being from Arizona, it had a little more rust than I would have liked, but all repairable. The truck I purchased was drivable, and the motor ran great, shifting was a little difficult though. Anyways, my plans were for a resto-mod-ish build. I wanted a weekend trail truck that can also take me to work and back. Anyways, here's some of the things I've done or plan to do:
-Sand/Paint the frame - Done
-New bed (In progress) - Done
-New passenger/driver floors (done)
-Rust repair behind doors, and rear wheel wells (done)
-Gas tank in between the frame with a fuel door (done)
-Rebuilt transmission, transfer case, new clutch, TO/Pilot bearings, new rear main seal, oil pan gasket (Done)
-Rebuilt the rear axle D44 (done)
-Purchased, regeared and rebuild a D44 front axle from a scout 2 and installed (Done)
-Rebuilt Heater box/core (Done)
-Remove body panels and paint behind (Done)
-Install Scout 2 Power steering box/pump and borgeson steering u-joints, new steering column wiring/turn switch - Done
-Add 10SI alternator (Done)
-Rewire the whole truck with new gauges (Done)
-Hydroboost brake install (Done)
-Body work/paint (Not started)
-Fabricate new front winch bumper. - Not started
-Fabricate Rock sliders - Not started
-R&R Radiator, new thermostat and hoses - Done
-Bedliner for the floors - Not Started
-Fab rear tire carrier/jerry can holder - Not started
R&R Tailgate and doors - In progress
Here's the truck as I got it
Rear axle with gas tank
Some minor body work and fuel door addition
New floors
Patch/metal work in the rear wheel wells
Front Axle
Nifty firewall grommet/plugs I made to cover the holes where the BHC's were.
Painting stuff. The scout will be red with a white top.
Anyways, this is just a preview. I have been taking pictures of everything and I have had pretty much this whole scout apart at one point in time. So, if anyone needs any pictures of anything or info, I'll help if I can. Or if you want more details on anything, hit me up! I'm installing the MAD electrical kit right now and a new kwikwire harness with new gauges right now. After this, I'll be doing the hydroboost, so I'm sure I'll have some questions down the road.
Thanks for viewing!
