I found the following listing in the local paper.

"1973 Scout 4x4 Raised 12". Big tires. Mag wheels.345 engine,Trailer hitches front, and back. New points, plugs,wires,dist cap,rotor,fuel pump,gaskets, hoses,filters,recond radiator,roll bar,$1200.00"

I am looking for a hunting truck to take to the camp and leave.

If it runs good what do ya'll think, and what do I need to look out for?

Thanks for all the help.

yea, the usual rust, and on anything that's supposed to be 12" high, I'd be looking for spooky steering and suspension fab work....actually, I don't think I'd buy anything advertised as 12" high 'cause I'm 99% certain it's a spooky POS.

The problem is that some dipshit scout guys count tires as lift. :shaking: The BB crowds math is SOA+3" body lift on 33"s is 12" of lift.
