The blue pick up went to someone else, but it ended up being pretty rotted out. The sr2 is safely tucked in my side yard waiting a full frame off restoration. That is my baby. I bought it the year I graduated high school, I would sell of my limbs before getting rid of it.
 
Hey all I picked up my '72 Scout II on Friday evening made it home good but found a few bugs upon returning home and on the way. Here is a picture of my "new" vehicle.

Welcome!
 
Hey guys, just checking in. I just moved to san jose CA with my fiance about a year ago from idaho after graduating from college. I am currently working in davenport as a reliability engineer.

Back in high school I had a 76 Scout 2 which I sold.....if only I knew then what I do now. Now, I bought a 69 800 last September which I am excited to make my "little" project.

I heard about this forum from one of my friends in chico and the bb.
 
Hello to all, my name is bill. I enjoy building scouts I'm currently looking for another to restore, here are some pics of the most recent one that I restored and sold.

From the central coast of California... I am checking in. New to forums, although not to cars. Owned and restored many, loved many, but enjoy the most my Scout II aka: stonewall. A 71 810 sii with an early build of 5-71, 96k orig. Stock with no frills. Hope to post pictures once I figure that out. Alex t.

I'm a new member, but been lurking for awhile.

My primary IH is a '76 terra that started out as a pretty much base model (2wd., 4cyl., 3spd., no ac, bench seat). I've converted it to 4wd. With a 2" spring lift, 345, close ratio 4spd., midas buckets and pedestal bases, and a original ac system converted to r134.

My other vehicles are a '77 midas traveller (inherited it from my grandfather) and a '71 800B (v8, 4wd) that I want to eventually turn into a rat rod.

Ed robbins here. I've bought items from IH only and IH Parts America at the Scout nationals in springfield, oh over the past few years.

Currently starting a 1976 Scout II restomod build. I will be using many IH only items on this project.

Thanks for a very imformative site, especially the IH only builds.
 
Hi ed here
I met Jeff at dobbins and bought the aluminum intake for my truck and everyone has been so nice, great bunch I will be a member for life see you again this year
 
Hi! I was told this is where all the cool kids hang out now. Glad to be a member of another forum:gringrin: looking forward to enjoying the site.
 
'bout dam time dan, now git yore azz onto the IHSTO forum and do sumthin' significant! And we don't allow no bbs arount here!
 
Hello all, coming to you from the great white north of alberta. Just purchased my very first 73 Scout II. 727 tranny, dana20 t-case, v8 engine not sure on cubic inch, Dana 44 rear, dana30 front. Needs a little work on the body seems this is the wright place to learn though. I have owned a Jeep in the past but I wanted something that there isn't much of up here, and I think I found it. By the way name is marc, I am 37 years old have 3 kids, married for 12 years and momma loves wheelin.
 
Kyle from southeast Missouri, with a '77 SSII converted to sii look by po. 304, 727, 3.54's. It moves around, but has issues.

Also have '79 sii with match set of axles, 345(a/c), t-19w, no seats, no coil. It's not yet been started/run, but transmission is in good shape.

I came here from a related forum... :gringrin:

and I hope to be financing some expensive post topics on this site, pretty soon.
 
Been on for a while, but my name is michael dimock and I am in college right now attending osu for mechanical engineering. (it has taken all my Scout money!:dita: ) found it on the bb and love the straight forward info. I have a 62 and 63/64 International Scout 80 and the 62 I have been restoring for over a year and a half. You can find that thread over at the bb. I love all the straight forward info here! Wish I could have made it down to the ralleye, but school was in the way. Just indulging in the info!:winky:
 
Like Mike said, I've been pokin around here for a little bit, so I thought I should just register. I've had my 76 Scout 2 for several years now, and it was my dd until a couple of years ago when the dreaded cam bearing issue reared it's ugly head. Since then it's been parked, and I have been debating about wether to rebuild it or go with an isuzu 4cyl turbo diesel. But wroking nights and some weekends for the past 1 1/2 + years has also kept me from getting around to it, much less any time on boards like this one.

But since I recently transferred with my company to boise idaho, I am now working mostly days and I have a better place for getting the old girl back on the dd list. The only thing holding me back right now is some funds, which will free themselves up when the oregon house sells. Then I can get busy on it.

Anyway, I've got my eyes on some of your products, and hopefully I can make it to your next rallye.

Jeff e.


Ps: if anyone needs a place to camp for the night while passin through, I got a big 'oll yard with lots of room for whatever ya drivin/haulin. Just gimme some warning. Glad to help fellow iher's whenever I can.
 
Just bought my first Scout...love old cars, had to get rid of my 67 Ford galaxy 500 convertible about a year ago(sold to someone who is going to do a complete restoration). Found this website by surfing the net. I have some work to do on the 'new' Scout II..will need a soft top, bikini top, some finish parts,safety bar,etc.
 
I'm checking in, a little late. Mike mayben steered me in here... Looks like a good alternative to the binder bulletin! Glad im here.
Tim
