You have a new fan. 52 year old vet who bought a 1977 diesel travelall. My cowgirl and I want to do it right. We want to hit all of Northern America and South America country's. 🇺🇸 🥃🥃 Hell life is truly short.
After watching you swap out cutting wheels on that grinder, I figured I'd let you know Lenox makes a metal wheel that cuts awesome and lasts WAY longer than abrasive wheels. Only costs $10 or so and easily outlasts $50 in death wheels.
Hey Nick, Scout is looking good. Thanks for posting another video on it. I am getting ready to pick up my 1980 Scout from the guy who has been sitting on it for 2 1/2 years next week and just going to do all the engine and electrical work myself since nobody will touch the SD-33T Nissan Diesel. Its really tempting to get Anything Scout to do an LS swap but that old Diesel still has some life left in it (it has less than 20k miles on it since it was rebuilt about 20 years ago). Hopefully you guys will be ready to take on another project some time in the Spring. Keep up the great work!
@@mdemers767 I sure did, I ended up doing all the rust repair and restoration myself and just had Nick do paint and body work and install a roll bar. Picked it up from his shop about a year ago and been daily driving it since
@@kenny3217 Nice. My new 4 core radiator should arrive any day now to cool my 392 install in my 73. Gotta start doing some rust abatement on that girl... it's getting bad.
How did you put the bed rail piece and cap on where the hardtop sits? Did you replace that or was it factory? The piece where you have the bolts threaded on top of rail
do you weld the floor to the sidewalls? I mean the places where the floor is folded down 90 degrees. When I was cutting our my original floor it was spot welded to side walls.
I appreciate this vid on the bed and quarters. Looks like work smartly done.

Hope you kept that turbo diesel. Those are rare engines for the Scouts...

1987 got lots of rust. So the question is it possible to use all new body parts and just reuse the frame.
How much do you charge for a build like this
part of your video is reverse image when your working on the rear inner fenders
Hey, just curious, where are you guys located?
