I bought this baby a month ago from a co-worker. It has the 392 with I-sky cam, msd ignition under the hood and a 12 inch suspension lift. I don't know much about it really I bought it with the intention of winter driving in bozeman where I live. However I realized I liked it too much as decided to make it look nice too. I replaced the driver's side fender because the guy I bought it from wrecked it. The plan is to straighten it up and paint it with spray-on bedliner. I'll keep posting with updates on how that goes. Thanks for looking!:thumbsup:

Here's the pics of the seats I put in it out of a Jeep. Turns out they fit almost perfectly.

I am in billings, looks like a 4" lift and small tires to me. I have lots of scouts, here's one with an ls1 from an 02 vette.

12 inches of lift??? I doubt that. It looks to be spring under axle still. More like a 4" spring lift with some extended shackles. If it had twelve inches of lift, you'd need to hijack a rocket or have sex with a horny toad to get up into the cab.
 
Welcome to the forums - btw. You're in the right place for good resource of info and help.

Sorry, but it still looks like no more than a 4" lift and sprung under with small tires. I have 3 Scout II's= 72, 73, & 74

my 74 was sprung over with 2" lift springs and 32" tires. And it looked very similar spacing between tires and fender wells as the pics you posted. And my 73 is sprung over with 2" body lift and sitting on 35" tires and the space between tires and fenders looks about the same:icon_eh:

other than that, your's looks fairly straight. Probably has the typical normal Scout II rust at the floor up front under feet at the body mount location.
 
Sorry I had my info wrong guys. But yeah really not a whole lot of rust. The guy I bought it from took care of it. Mostly surface rust, no cancer...yet.
