I have a 79 Scout in Coulter ville CA. Was used to haul hang gliders. Am too old to keep after it. Has been parked for years. Roof is damaged from falling tree branch. Cretins are after it. Needs rescue.

So I'm new to this, but I am going to buy a 1962 Scout 80 this weekend, and it needs a lot of love. Well it runs and drives but it needs some engine and body work done. Is there anything I should be aware of; good or bad? I know my dad mentioned to me that I should see if the frame is rusted out under the driver side, since we use salt on the roads here in Minnesota.

Note: it's gonna be an investment but it's more of I've always wanted to fix one up with my dad kind of thing. Yes, I want to put money into it but I'm not going to go balls to walls with it, and make a super off-roader.

I have a Traveler with a rebuilt 345 that runs well... but, the Traveler doesn't run quite as I'd like. I've added a Holley Sniper EFI and like it, but still think about the LS swap regularly. What was it that made you commit and do the swap?

I found a Scout 80 pickup near me and it is one of my dream cars and just had so quick questions. Does it have a radio or a spot for a radio? And have you ever seen jumpseats for the bed because I feel like that would be smart?

Hay , I recently got a 74 scout terra and am trying to figure out some stuff on the clutch without tearing things apart. I’m not sure what transmission it has but I do now it has the AMC strait 6 and was wondering what kind of clutch they could have and if it’s possible to adjust it rather than replace it. If anyone knows that would be a HUGE help.

Hey All,

New to the sub but been a Scout guy since my 15th birthday when I bought my first Scout I couldn’t legally drive yet. Fast forward 30 years and now I’m needing help getting a project put back together.

Is there a listing anywhere of shops/specialists listed by location that you are aware of by chance?

TIA!

My truck won't start. The battery is good and it was running the previous week. I changed the starter and still nothing. Has power to the lights and dash, but won't turn over. No clicking sounds hinting at dead batter. Not sure why it won't turn over.
