Took the steering wheel and put it on my 74. Was hoping to use the turn signal switch but they're both shot. Will be ordering one soon from IHPA. Tore the dash out and was trying to use the wiring to help troubleshoot my 74. All I can say is, damn!!! IH must have gotten a hell of a deal on green wiring, lol. Also considering using this shifter in my 74 and putting it back in the stock location then reupholster the seats and use them in the 74 as well.

You keep on bringing up CA and you're going to talk me into moving back out there! Not really but, it's a nice thought, lol. I wish there were more folks over this way that were into these rigs. I May end up having to buy a few more and have them shipped over here. Just the luck of the draw that I found both of these rigs.
The day I get either one of these rigs road worthy to my specs the first thing I'm doing is planning a road trip to come see ya scooter! Keep the razzing coming, it's part of the reason I feel at home here, lol. Not sure what freight would cost but, I May seriously take you up on that windshield frame.
Mainly focused on getting the 74 road worthy right now so haven't done much more to this rig. I did manage to pull the radiator, transmission cooler, crossmember, passenger side wheel well, master cylinder/brake booster and various other items and wiring tonight. Oh, and I have come up with a name for her. In honor of our fallen friend that I found in the reservoir, she is now called mouse. I do not have any intentions of doing anything crazy to reflect the name though, lol!

Rofl, motivation is a good thing and yes, I'm damn good at makin messes! Just ask my wife.
yep, mouse will be getting the idi or, what ever diesel I settle on....... I might can get mouse soup added to the menu but, it was turkey butt burgers for tonight. Think it's deer nuts tomorrow night. The soup that was already made sat out of the fridge a little too long and didn't quite smell right so had to throw it out.

Hey scooter buddy! Was about to text you today and find out if the pb blaster got the better of you or what, lol. Yeah, I think the dead mouse got a good head start on me but, I'm hoping to surpass his destructive skills.
I like the idea of ducky for your yellow rig. That t-case handle is awesome! Just gotta come up with a good slogan to match. Haven't figured out a slogan for mouse yet.......

Pb blaster has been about the only thing holding things together on my end 
all this over time at work (12 hours a day) sure does take away a lot of time from wrenching on scouts. I'm off work today, but already but in 46 hours of work, and probably would have been 48, but power in the plant went out around 3:30pm Wednesday. Although I do browse through the forum several times a day during the week while on my break time and durring my commute to and from work.
