IH 1978 Scout II (1 Viewer)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Its rolling again. Pretty darn happy with the result. Now to finish up the tcase spacer and get the drivetrain dropped in. Then load the back with 500# of concrete and try to get a true rear flex out.

These are 34.8" diameter tires and no touching so far with no added weight. Tire was 14.25" off ground and the other size started coming up. Still had a good 1.5" of space between tire are rear well opening.

A lot to do solo today, but its done. Headed home for beer and crawfish etouffee!

Sprayed the interior this morning.

Thank you so much for saving it! You're a machine!

Did someone (client?) spec those tires and with the red lettering out? Look so out of place.

Tank is coated. In-tank pump and floatless sender going in.

Seats and panels are off to the upholstery shop. OEM tilt steering column is on the way and a custom steering wheel.
