72 scout II build

[kyle72]

I just pick up 2 Scout II and it needs a lot of work it was running but the guy I bought it from just let it sit for about 5 years it has 345ci engine, t-19 trans, Dana 20 t-case and Dana 44s front and rear with ARB air locker in the rear with front disk brakes the engine was rebuilt about 30,000 miles ago but rust has had its way with it and well story short it needs to be rebuilt again... So yeah we will see how it goes

Welcome
so far looks to be a good start to a long project. You will be happy with the ARB's. I loved being able to use the air compressor for airing up the tires after a trail run along with air tools.

Nice Scout, you have some great parts to start with!

I just noticed something while reflecting back on your photos. You sure it's a 72? The front grill speaks 73 or 74. But then again, the way IH sold these things, it could have been manufactured in late 72 with the intension of being a 73 model.

Either way, it still looks to be a starting point for a fun project
