What are you looking at for trail obstacles? Old Scout 10-22-2001, 04:56 PM Just swap in a IH V8 and get it. All the 4 bangers I have seen have low gears in the diffs and If your lucky a Granny T-19. jdjanda 10-22-2001, 05:39 PM Originally posted by Old Scout: <STRONG>Just swap in a IH V8 and get it.

How much is the owner asking? Also look through the board here, and the Binder Bulletin (http://www.binderbulletin.org) Just ignore the Old Scout posts about Chrome, seems to be a favorite topic around here.
