There's a white SII sitting around the corner from us,and so far I've been able to resist the urge to go see what's up with it...

Not to dissuade you, just for a little info. If your talking a true early 60's Scout 80 or 800 you do know they didn't come with the largest running gear, right? If you talking the 70's ScoutII's your looking a little better, but they're on the wide side for trails (sorry Dave)

AND THIS THREAD NEEDS YOUR PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, if its an 80/800, plan on changing pretty much the entire drivetrain to reliably run 35s.

Now after saying that, didn't the make 800's with the big V-8's and real axles?

Later years of the 800 were available with a 266 or 304 v8. AMC 232 I-6 was an option too. They had a 44 rear with 2 piece :roll: axle shafts. Dana 30 front is the best the 800 came with.

OK, Cracker, buy the lil' binder, put your 350/465/205/D60/FF14B in it and wheel the corn out of it!

Or buy Jim's CJ-5 and do the same, just get it out of my back yard . . . :lol:
