Good to see there are some Scout fans here! Just updated the original post :)

Every time I see a Scout, all I can think about is John Clark in Without Remorse. If you've read the book you'll know what I'm talking about.

Such a great looking vehicle!

Man those things are nothing but piles of swiss chees looking sheet metal here on the rusty coast. Envious of cars that remain in the PNW some times.

Nice ride.

Dude that thing is so fucking clean. You'd be hot shit down here :up:

Very nice find. I have four of those beasts (none of them as nice as yours, yet) but I love them. My 1980 Scout is a Traveler Diesel and the 1973 is ready for paint and assembly. Try to locate a stock air filter assembly, and if need be you could run a hose forward off that. K&N does make a drop in for the stock air cleaner. I agree with 33's, but you'll need some sort of lift to run them. There's a lot of info online on these things. You'll find that everything (except rust proofing) was done overkill. Fully boxed frame, medium duty truck engines, Dana 44's front and rear, etc. Your 1980 has the highly sought after Dana 300 transfer case too. Parts are readily available as well, so don't let that scare you when the parts counter guys say "I don't even list it". International sourced a lot of mechanical stuff from other manufacturers, so no worries there. Great on line community as well.

Good luck.
