Are you mounting those coils outside the frame, and is this a 4-link?

Levi, have you driven that thing yet? if so, how well does the Z link work?

I am having some major issues with clearance and may need to do crossover that way.

Right now its a no-link :D

Original plan was to mount the coils outside the frame, but for packaging and performance I'm seriously thinking air-shocks, and some day coil overs. Original plan was a 3-link with pan, but looking hard as squeaking a full 4-link in there instead.


Right now, all that has been moved back out of the garage and is sitting next to the house so I could get the wheeling rig/racer ready for Naches. Time to move it all back in now that I have even more parts. Tossing around the idea of loosing the whole frame and building from scratch, but that opens up a whole new can of worms as well. Told you it was a slow build :D

What kind of issues are you having. The only problem I have is I lost about an inch of turning radius to the left. The Z bottoms out on the tie rod by the TREs. I spent alot of time measuring before I built the link to make sure I cleared the springs. I am going to wheel it as is for a while while I save up for high steer.

I have an oilpan right in the way of the crossover swing.

I have heard a Scout pan has the sump in the rear, but I am working on getting a 392 so I don't want to waste the money/effort on that. At least with the Z link I will be able to re-use most of the big money parts or sell off to someone.

Seeing this reminded me to update a build thread. Hope you enjoy.

ScoutII have a front and rear sump with a hump between the two. Might give you what you need to get the link to clear. What kind of steering box are you gonna use, location?

I will have to investigate that pan. Does it use a different oil pump/pick-up?

I am going to use the stock Saginaw without the bracket. See my pic there are 2 bolt holes just behind the pitman, this is the bracket. This mounts the box so the pitman goes fore/aft, If I lay in directly on the frame it moves side/side. Nice thing is the bolt holes match up perfectly.

The new front end is from a 75 K20 and is already flat top, just need to get drilled for hysteer arm.

pickup is in the rear.

FWIW I'm very happy with my 4-link. I think it's pretty straight forward. With the brackets available, it's become a weekend install.

I'm waiting a month or two for the front, FOA shocks is comming out with a 2" coilover at, what is expected to be a reasonable price, and should be very adaquate for my needs.

No one cares about you until you do two things.
1. Put a big red arrow on a pic of your rig identifying the IH parts:flipoff2:
2. Post the video of you breaking Rockwells. :eek:

I'll take a pic of the carnage....cool???

MARK you tease that pic sucks....we need more :flipoff2:

I'd post a pic of my rear disk conversion, but my laptop died and I don't have an SD card reader on this computer.

:d

i'm sitting here trying to figure the same thing except work with the winch up front. Hmmmm.....

So my neighbor gave me his scout that kinda caught on fire under the hood. Its a 79 Scout II with 345 and dana 44s.. has a thermal quad(junk) that im thinking of replacing with a quadrajet. I should have this thing running by this Thursday, only the harnes from the fire wall to distributer and alternator were effected. few hoses and vacuums that need replaced nothing i cant handle. I plan on getting this thing running and hopefully do a spring over with 52in chevy springs in the rear and im guessing 4in springs in the front. keep it simple till i can get some full width axles and go with a linked suspension..

There's a confusing one over on the BB. :homer:

I'd like to do the conversion myself since my choke isn't working so well.

I finally made a little progress on my Scout. It doesn't look like much but it is a 76' Scout II body on a shortened 76' J20 frame my Scout frame was junk.
D60 rear, 8 lug d44 front 4:56's, 360 AMC, T18,D20. I used the stock J20 springs spring over in the front, inboarded F250 rear springs with a couple leafs removed. So I have done a ton of work to build a Scout that looks like it has a 6" lift and 3/4 ton axles.
Edit: The body is not going to set that high I got it setting on some blocks to give a little more room when working, the body should drop about 3"

There are a bunch of companies that make bolt on kits. Guessing you have a scout II call up skyjacker, rough country, superlift, or someone like deaver spring or something can make you some nice custom ones. Model of your scout would help narrow down the possibilities.

Scott- watch the classifieds over on race-dezert.com cheap shocks pop up all the time. You can get decent shocks with coils a lot of times for less than what your gonna spend on the bargain basement FOA's.

Your looking for a 74,75 truck oil pan for a rear sump only.
The one pictures is a 73 or earlier.

here a link with pictures on pan types. You will need a Scout Oil pump and pickup. Double check to make sure the pickup is about 1/4 off the bottom of the pan.
