Tell us about your Scout:
So when a 1971 Scout II, SOA lift, Tom Woods rear driveline, Anything Scout 6 point cage, 35" BFG MTs, Optima Red Top, F-150 extended shock towers, Hunsaker front seats with 5 point harnesses, lunchbox locker in the rear, front D44, front disc brakes, headers, Flowmaster 70 series, new gauges, 12 volt wiring harness, 345/T19 AND TBI from a 1990 GM pickup... for $2500?! comes along...
Well I had to go look at it despite the massive oil leak and no oil pressure. It ran good...
And it did run good. Even in the dark I made plans and 4 days later shook hands on it, snipped the analog oil line going to the gauge that had melted on the header and put on a $4 brass coupler.
Drove her home with the owners' father shaking his head with a wave and a smirk on his face.
Took her home and learned another hard lesson... the 727 from a '79 and the T19 from a '71 won't just swap...
In any case, had such great times in Middleton Maggie. Just search for her on Google and YouTube(Lil Aloha Idaho, Historical Wheeling playlist) and you'll see most of our adventures.
I am soo looking forward to retiring here in about 3 years and having Noelani to cruise home in.
