Thread: IH Scout 80

Tweet

So here we go again. My 72 Scout II was getting to the point where to keep moving forward I was going to really start spending some serious money and put a lot of work into it. The rust was really bothering me and the old 345 ran great but it was breaking me in fuel. We started talking about it and I learned that Kari liked the Scout II but LOVED the look of the Scout 80/800's. So I did what any good husband would do and found a fairly solid Scout 80 and sold the Scout II. We might as well put the money and time into the right vehicle. It is going to be Kari's daily driver and she is calling the shots on it. It will be getting a S-10 Blazer frame swap, the 2 door ones have the same wheelbase and it will be painted Teal with the old school white 4x4/trailer rims. This one is going to be fun for me. I picked up this 02 Blazer with bad trans, it is almost to nice to rip the body off but I'll still sleep at night. The one pic is roughly what it will look like with a little different color and rims.
