I like the grill on the 74 better. Can that be swapped to the orange one?

We had the smaller 60's scout when I lived on the farm. It had a grape spraying unit mounted to the bed. It was ALOT of fun running it through the woods. But the suspension was STIFF.... nowhere near as flexy as even a stock Cherokee suspension.

Didn't they have diesel engines in some scouts? That would be a neat one to find and drive.

Sweet!

I've definitely got a soft spot for the orange ones! Here's my current daily driver:

My dad, brother, and two brothers-in-law own scouts as well. It's quite a curse. Will be excited to watch your progress on the build!

Damn that looks clean. Very good choice sir, and the smoker's window is the icing IMO.

I had a 70 Scout 800.. 304 3 speed with some closed knuckle 44's. There is a Junk yard 10 minutes from my house that has 20-25 IH rigs in there.... bad thing is they were in just as bad of shape as mine.

Yes the scouts had a deisel.. it was a Nissan i-6 one. It was kinda rare, but truly a bad *** motor.

NOW AFTER BEING PARKED IN A FIELD FOR 20 YEARS...
***WARNING** THIS MAY BE A PAINFUL SIGHT***

AND THAT'S WHY HE BOUGHT THE ORANGE ONE THIS YEAR

They only made 10,xxx diesel scout IIs, with 1,038 in '77 being the fewest in the five years they made the diesels.
