Have been working on the scout alot lately. Nothing has really been worth posting unless you care about my skills to tighten bolts. :flipoff: But this is what I have done thats worthy of pics. Seat mounts: To mount up the steering box I cut a piece of 3/8 steel. Then I drilled and tapped...

Well I haven't got a whole lot done in a while but I did get the steering column in and got this boxed in. My lower steering column mount is merely a 2 1/4" exhaust clamp. A 2" would have been better I just didnt want to buy one.

Alright this week I have been working with the steering column and the fan shroud. I took the steering column apart and got rid of the little button that you push down before it will let you turn the key back to off/lock position. I also Cut off about 4 inches of unnecessary plastic. I also...

So I had a slight problem I sold the factory radiator with my original IH motor. So I had to fab new mounts and I had a few radiators laying around but they were either to tall or too wide. So I got a Little crazy and came up with this. Sorry I didnt take a picture before I put it in I cut out...

Well Yesterday I notched the floorboard for the exhaust. This is the only place that needed it. And made a clutch stopper. Here is a little bit of my own how to tech: Well I am sure this applies to most IH vehicles that have a manual or maybe even a automatic transmission. The nylon...

Well guys its been a while but I have been making progress I just havent been posting pictures because there wasn't much to post. Atleast nothing interesting. First off rear brakes are on: I have been working on the clutch as well. The master cylinder is in and this is what I came up with as...

Your right, it wasnt safe...... look at my valve cover. :fawkdancesmiley: This is how it started... Jackstands in fron t and single block in rear. Jackstands slipped off as i backed my forklift out.

Body got in the way of the clutch, a little notch it fits perfect. The body is back on. This is what happens then the front of the body slides off of the jackstands.. Yes, that is my valve cover. The body fell two feet before it did this. I am lucky this is all that is damaged. Body is...

flex! Popped off the covers on the side of the transmission and found a 1/4 inch of rust and goo in the bottom. The transmission should be alot healthier now. While I was at it I figured I'd add some bling. Clutch slave cylinder bracket.

As of today the powerplant is in its place and I got it all bolted in. I was curious about the flex so I picked up the the tires and I got 27" in the front and 34" in the rear. I will get pics up tomorrow.

I like that thing... you do nice work

The Scout rolls around my shop on its own weight now. I am waiting for some seals and stuff for the transfercase. Meanwhile I have been tearing into that. I'll get pics soon.

Well I have been working non stop the last couple days but I managed to get quite a bit done. I welded on some angle Iron to the crossmember and to the frame to add more strength. Also got the front axle on, the spindles and such on. Oh and tires! I am waiting on Ubolt plates for the rear. I...

I also got all spring/shackle hangers welded off Running gear awaiting its service.....
