Another one in the stable.

[Bjork69]

Right hand drive 6cyl.

 

[Bjork69]

Good overall condition. 93k miles. I pick it up 91621

 

[Bjork69]

Oops I pick it up 6/16.

 

[Bjork69]

It made it home tonight. Original paint RHD 73'

 

[Bjork69]

Not many oh's & ahh's. Thought I might have something better than my 77 traveler.

 

[Bjork69]

I think I'll run up my own replies. Not much rust. Alot less than my 77'. I think I'm pulling my 345 out of it and replacing the 258 ci in the 73.

 

[int77345]

i like it ! what is the story on the right hand drive ?

 

[Bjork69]

Rural Wyoming post office truck.

 

[Bjork69]

This is my 2nd IH.

Not many oh's & ahh's. Thought I might have something better than my 77 traveler.

Yea, I saw the above average condition and thought WOW, I wish my junk was that clean, and wondered where the similar replies were.
But I held off making a reply cause I'm new here and don't want to step on toes. (where are the toes?)
But dang!! thats a clean mofo!! No matter who or where . Great score for sure.

I stumbled on this at a previous job. The owner said he had a 73' RHD 800. I told him that I was interested in purchasing. He said he would never sell it. He called 4 weeks later and changed his mind. Not cheap...5k with a second amc 258 cu motor. The original in the truck spit out a rod.

 

[Bjork69]

Pulling the 258 out this weekend.

 

[Bjork69]

Could it be a Canadian IH?

 

[Bjork69]

Canadian motor vehicle safety standard. I'll keep looking.

 

[Bjork69]

Getting back to the toes question.. careful of the toes you step on today as they could be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow. A good lesson for a young adult to learn.

 

[Bjork69]

So it's next to the 77' traveler. Swap the 258 for the 345? Pulling the 258 for a rebuild and thinking of a sniper 2bbl system for it. Some rust to remove but in really good condition. The 77 has more rust.

 

[Bjork69]

Pulled drivelines today and started on the transfer case and transmission. I'm thinking it would be easier to pull the body off as I lay under the truck.. that's what I'll do.

 

[Bjork69]

More tear down on the 258 today with my son.

 

[Bjork69]

I got a great deal on this lift. $1.00 it's as old as the Scout im sure. I'll get this pulled this weekend. The 1980 81 amc eagle 258 motor it on the engine hoist.

 

[Bjork69]

Transfer case and transmission are out. This scout looks great underneath. A rusted body mount beneath the drivers side A Pillar. The rockers are rusty but very stout.
