Topic of Discussion 71 International Scout II

[SoopaHick]

So I just helped my Brother in Law take this beauty home.

I know there are some Scout gurus on here that might like to see this. And I was also hoping to get some more info for my BIL in this thread that he can refer to. He's relatively new to working on a vehicle that requires this much work. But he's excited to dig into it for a thorough restoration.

I have some Scout II parts if you need any. Cheap.

I may be in contact with you then! This truck needs some serious love.

Do you have a steering box?

 

[RustEoldtrux]

I believe that I have a steering box. I'll check for it now.

 

[RustEoldtrux]

Sorry, no steering box. I do have a power steering pump so that's what made me think I had a steering box.

 

[Bart]

I actually have a ported Scout steering box that's been sitting for a lot of years, that I was going to list in the classifieds.

Do you also have the mount for the power steering box? The PO on this one built his own little jig and it's not straight at all. Causing serious squealing when full turning.

 

[RustEoldtrux]

Just returned from a trip to get a transmission. Yes, the power steering pump mount is there. Throw me an offer for the pump plus mount. Located in Evanston but I go through Salt Lake City to Moab fairly often so probably can deliver.

Let me ask him to see if he wants it.

I won't accept high offers, remember cheap was my plan.

That looks like the Scout II that has been on KSL. It looks good. I have a 73 Scout II that I need to get running again. They can be fun but he might have a problem with buying more. Some parts can be a little hard but there is a lot of Venders like https://www.superscoutspecialists.com/ where you can find the parts that you can't get at NAPA.

By the time I got a hold of him again he had already ordered a new mount online. So he'll pass on yours, thank you though!

Yes he found it on ksl. The guy selling it had two and the other one was nicer so he didn't need them both.
Engine runs real good. Only easily perceptible issues were the bootyfabbed power steering mount, and the rusted out body mounts that need to be replaced. And of course surface rust throughout.

Just remember, I have Scout parts and I won't be high balled. I know what I've got!
