Hey everybody, to be honest I have no experience in Scouts except that I rode in 1 and thought it was BA! I've got an 83 cj7 and have tinkered with that a bit so I have a base knowledge of vehicles but I have friends and coworkers that have a plethora of know how. So, my deal is I know a guy that has 2 scouts for sale for $500. The first is a 73 scout II with the 6 cylinder(seized up), and the second is a 76 scout II traveler with the 345(runs but has some wiring problems). I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy them, but any suggestions of what a po-boy should do with them would be appreciated. Or, if theres any pertinent info I don't know about these units fill me in. Thanks

I'm with JetFxr...only I'd pull some parts off first. Maybe you can use something from them on your jeep...:laughing:

Oh, not to Hijack the thread but can I just change my username or do I have to start from scratch(this is only my 2nd post so thats not a big deal)? PlugUgly was the first username I typed in when registering and it worked so I went with it....My bad.

Depends how rusty they are, but I'd wheel the shit out of the '76 while I build a truggy out of the '73.

Will the real Plug Ugly please stand up. But to the point SEARCH the junk your lookin at and the questions you ask you need to be on BP this a learning board, where work happens not daydreams.

PM Lance. It's his job to change name for people.
$500 for both is not bad. It really depends where you live. If its Iowa, then $500 is way to much as there would be little if any steel left :laughing:
I assumed they have papers!
You could bob the traveler and put the Scout II top on it. Wiring issue can be solved with a new wiring harness. Or get the manual and figure out what the numbers on the end of each wire means. 73 title is smog free in this state.
