*Front left fender has fresh dents, my bad...Could be pounded out, fresh tree rubbage
*Pass front is great

*Doors are about 8 out of 10, no rust
*Rear Quarterpanels are fair,a little through in the front of the wheel-whell Ok behind.
*Tailgate sucks.......
Top raingutter is pissed, but ok
*The orange paint DEFINETLY sucks!

*New Ujoints
*Needs one new drum, OR just a d44!

The 4wd works flawless, no probs. Tcase is solid, no leaks in front, tcase, or rear...
I am currently in Minnesota, the Scout is still in Washington.
I WAS planning on bringing it down here next month, however I am going to need some serious cash for closing costs on my NEW HOME! Good news, bad news.
I put about $3,500 into the Scout during the summer, and never got it to the point I wanted, now I have no ambition to finish it
I had planned on a d44 front and a springover, but now, I dunno... I need to sell it....
I know I wont get even CLOSE to what I want, so I am going to ask for $1,400 cash... Done deal.....
Call me & home this weekend if you want to ask any Questions, I will be here.

I have been looking around the web for Scouts and found darned few!
Have a good friend from my Air Force years in Bemidji - Dave Horn, a logger and real good guy!
I wore-out (read that "rusted-out"!) 2 Scouts plowing my driveway here in Western New York over the last 30 years! Just cleaned-up the left-overs of the last one, a 1970 800A that had all the fancy stuff on it (chrome wheels, roof-rack, upholstered door panels, etc.). I have a few pieces if you know anybody that can use them - the price will be "right"!
B/W T-18A 4 speed with hi/lo Xfer case
dana 44 3.73:1 posi rear
dana 3.73:1 open front axle w/ I/H lock-outs
Monarch plow frame with I-H aux. (plow) lights
Grill and headlamp bezels (decent shape - grille cut-out for plow rig)
roof rack (pot metal needs repair, stainless strips good condition)
4 original I-H 15X7 chrome wheels (3 OK, 1 needs replate)
1 side slider window for long top

Nothing much beat these things for plowing snow but the sheet metal just gave-up on them!
