INTRODUCTIONS

Hi guys, I had my granddad's 1972 1210 pickup fixed up at IHOnly north last year. Now its back with me in mountain view. I'm planning on meeting you all in death valley soon. I have no offroading experience to speak of, so I am expecting to learn a thing or two. The truck is a travelette with the 392, t-407 transmission and 4wd.

My name is Robert and I drive a '70 Travelall 1210.

137.jpg


It's got d60s front and rear and ARB air lockers. Sadly I haven't put it in 4wd since I bought it in sept. I took the 37" tires off and put some 32"s on there. Now it looks closer to stock and I can turn to the right. The 37"s rubbed really bad on the steering when turning right. My family and I live in alameda.

Welcome to both stoney and thumper

both ya have what looks to be good base to start with for build ups. Thanks for the photo drool op :thumbsup:

I work in oakland a couple blocks from the coliseum. Keep your eyes open for future posts of IH work days up here in my little man cave of a shop space in richmond.

I have a choice of 3 scouts to sit in and dream of all the cool places to drive through. So much so, that once I tried to fling my 74 up into a tree to creat a new form of a tree house. More like a new form of tree hugging - lol
 
Thanks scooter I have seen a few of your workday posts. Sounds like fun I have a little weld/blacksmith shop at my house in oakland. Hopefully I can figure out the ignition problem with my rig soon then I can go crazy with the welding on it.:out:
 
Gentlemen,

it was nice meeting you all at the fall rallye. Now that I finally have a running IH vehicle, I look forward to becoming an active babs member. See you all soon.

Hey,

I live in san jose and I have a red 1970 Scout 800a with a 304. It's currently stuck in the driveway while I redo the electrical and fuel systems. I'm going to try to make it to one of the meetups soon.

Cheers,
-rob

Hello good people. My name's doug and I'm the rookie to date...

Proud owner of our 1968 1200 c 4x4 step side with braden lu-2 pto winch.

Just a quick intro for now as I'm sure I'll be seeking your IH knowledge in the near future.

Regards,

doug
 
Hi all, newbie here. Just acquired a 1966 Scout 800 sportop. It's in great shape, recently refurbished, but I'm hoping to get a couple projects going on it. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to babs. I know the vehicle you purchased and it is truly beautiful. I almost bought it for my wife. Enjoy the truck. I look forward to seeing it again and meeting you.

Hello everyone,
I bought my 67 800 last September. Been collecting parts ever since. Just started the cut & turn on a Dana 44 spring over with a Scout II d44 in the rear. Have a Chevy TBI, 4l60e, and Jeep d300 for power train. It's going in the garage for dis assembly moch up and fabrication in the next couple of weeks. Will be nice to see some progress after a winter of parts collection and studying.
Luckily I live in Nevada City so I can get parts and talk to Jeff and the gang in person, they are a wealth of knowledge.
Look forward to talking to everyone on the board and hopefully meeting some of you in person.
Damian

welcome. That is a beautiful Scout to start with. I May be biased as my scouts are all 80s or 800s.

I feel the same way my '69 800a with it's shorter wheel base and narrower stance than the bigger Scout iis just feels like more of a pure wheeler.

Welcome all.
