Your ask'n the wrong shop (well, Snoop might have some info about it, since he is in the biz).
"Mr. Scout" out of Oregon makes/markets the "Creeper Box". No website that I know of. Maybe someone has his # handy, or you could look it up on one of the many internet "yellow pages"

Mr. Scout's phone number is 541-688-3232. I remember seeing this box once when he was at Tulare's IH Western Regionals. Very nice people to deal with.RustoleumWhite said:

The Mr. Scout creeper box has been around a while. It is a bolt in creeper box for the Scout II. If I remember correctly it is built out of a Dana 20 adn I can't remember if it goes in place of your current TC or in concert with. Just call Mike at the above number. Like Jeff said, they are great people!

I have installed one in a customers truck. He has a 63 Scout 80, buick v-6, sm 420, crawler box (Mr.Scout), Dana 20, D44's alloy shafts, high steer, PS, fuel injection, 37's, We have run it on the Sierra trek in august and The rubicon a few weeks ago. It has performed very well. It has bronco 2.47 gears, It is actually pretty easy to assemble and install. It shifts smooth. Going up a portion of Cadillac Hill it popped out of low range once. I am not sure why. I think the body torqued and moved the shifter which caused it to pop out. Other than that it has been a great unit. You will have to modify the crossmember to clear the front drive shaft. It was about $1600 with the 2.47 gears.
Dont waste you time or money on the creeper box. it doesnt give you any more strength and for 1600.00 you can get a klune-v to add to your current dana 20 or put a NP205 and have a truly bullet proof set up.Plus you will have a better gearing selection. Or Buy an Atlas for a few bucks(depending on options) more and have a much stronger unit that is BRAND NEW. If these option dont work for you then get the tera-low 3.15 kit along with their 32 spline out put up-grade. You will find in the end that the klune-v or the Atlas units are more cost effective and worth the money!

I installed a creeper box in P3 ~ installation was VERY easy, but there are a few things you should know about it. First, you'll need more room under a Scout II floor ~ a 2" body lift or some new humps in the floor will be needed.
There is a 'write up' of sorts on my site. Check out:

Then on "Day 4"

I think you need to run an adapter to adapt the texas pattern (IH 4spd) to the klune -V. that coupled with the stock 20 or especially the 205 will be pretty long. You would also have to run two crossmembers. Which is not a big deal. I agree the klune -v and or atlas are great units. But for this customer, the ease of installation saved him some money compared to the atlas / klune-v. If I had an auto I would go klune-v no question. Using a jeep tail housing and output shaft. This is one reason it is nice to have different options. Creeper box is a good alt. option.

dana 20/18 to NP 205 - double case
The creeper box output will only work with a dana 20. An IH 300 will not even work. Good point I have not experienced it with a v-8. It has been holding up well in that 63. That is all I have to go off. I have an interesting set up in my Scout. IT is a hybrid Dana 20/18 with a divorce 205. The front output of the 205 goes into the rear output or the hybrid 18 and transfers through a shaft straight out the front output of the 20/18. IT allows the 20/18 to be in stock location and the 205 is clocked flat and flush with the bottom of the frame. It also allows for a stock front drive shaft to be used. I'm not sure how to put a picture on this board. But it is funky and has held up really well. I am fairly aggresive when I wheel too.
