No it isn't a Scout two but my son is Scout #1 so this must be Scout #2
1963 International Harverster Scout 80 half cab
This won't be an overnight project but it won't be a 15 year one either, goal is for the end of March for a run to Hollister.
http://whiteknucklemotorsports.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1448Some interesting stuff..
- the body width is the exact same as my toyota - 66"
- length is approximately a foot shorter, actually as much as two depending on how I build the bumpers and my truck was shortened A LOT - when I took off the bed
- It is a 63, not too interesting till ya hear my jeep was a 53. Our bug is a 73, my truck is an 83, and my ZJ is a... 93
original specs
0 to 60 mph in 20.1 sec

This is a field test done on a 1961 scout in 1961 152ci 4 cyl 3spd manual, 6.50*15 tiers and 4.27 diff ratio
Here is the quick run down of what I plan to do with it..
Engine/Cooling/Exhaust/Fuel System - HO 5.0 w/Northern aluminum radiator and spal electric fan, modified HO headers, mustang in-tank fuel pump in the toy EFI tank Engine has Saginaw steering pump, 180 amp 3G alternator, BBK air intake kit, FlowKooler hi-flow water pump, stainless rad hoses, Competition Cams Timing set, ARP bolts and studs, etc..
Drivetrain/Clutch - NP435/dual 23 spline toy tcases, TLC slave & MC
Suspension - front: wagoneer 44044 springs and 9012's, rear: wagonner springs and 5012's
Axles/Brakes - Front HP HD 44 w/6 lug outers and lock right, Rear disk (with ebrake calipers) 35 spline moser shafted HD D60
Interior - custom dash with autometer gauges.
Steering - hi-steer with GM stuff and toy IFS box.
Wheels/Tires - 15x10" mags with 37" MTR's.
Sound familiar?
In addition the main change will be a mostly STOCK body, and.. a back seat!
hmm step one is gonna be body work and paint.. but I can't decide what color!!
First I thought red, then blue, then maybe silver.... I dunno
tops gonna be white, that's all I know
