Here's something that I have been wanting to do for awhile. Since I have been able to drive this rig, up until recently, I haven't had seat belts.

Hey, if you don't mind my asking, where did you buy those seatbelts? I'm asking because they look exactly like the ones I have, that I installed a number of years ago. The company I bought mine from says that don't carry the same manufacturer's belts any longer.

Don't mind at all. If I recall, I got them through Seatbelts Plus. It was a couple years ago when I purchased them, and I was looking through several manufacturers at the time. And last year, while my scout sat for 9 months, I finally was able to do something about them and clean up my roll bar at the same time

Now the fun begins. And probably something that I should have done a few years ago.
Some previous owner was kind enough to swap in a D-44 front axle w/disc brakes, from a later model scout, along with the proper brake booster and master cylinder. But, from the looks of it, the proportioning valve appears to be OEM, for drum/drum brakes. I never had too much of an issue, until recently.

I have started to have intermittent front brake drag. With some investigation, I'm thinking that both front used rotors are slightly warped, along with the wrong proportioning valve. New parts just came in this week. In the process, I plan on replacin⁹g all the hard lines. Monday, I need to go get a few more fittings for the lines.
