What’s the carb rebuild kit and the wiring harness kit? My dad and I are rebuilding a 77 Scout 2 also!

What size and gauge is that tube? I have a pretty beat up Terra I'd like to do this to.

dude you keep flagging yourself. if you like that finger you shouldn't put it in front of the barrel. Just my two cents.

Fuel filter? Lots of the new fuel filters have a check valve inside them to prevent the fuel from running backward out of the carb draining the float bowl. At least in my C20 and C30 (85 and 88) had them. My K5s don't use the Rochester filters in the carbs. Some of these new check valves don't seat well, some get stuck slightly open. That causes <two> issues. 1) drains the float bowl empty causing hard starts and 2) only allows a few lbs fuel pressure causing the truck to run out of gas under full throttle. Drove me crazy as I put a new filter in last year but when I pulled it out I could barely push the check valve open inside the filter. Once it moved it got stuck maybe 2-3% open. The truck sat for 20 years. Even though I drained the fuel and added a new filter / pump, still had some gunk hiding between the tanks. Is a dual 20gal tanks / camper special

Could have done better without the shitty music

I’d have destroyed those tan pants in 5 min great job on this build

lookin good dude!

Не знаю как красила эта фирма кузова, но очень похоже что грунта там нет вообще. Все полости кузова ржавые. Это американский уаз.

Are these parts your welding in custom made or can they be bought somewhere? My scout has rust in the same places pretty much

How you know it’s bad ?

Moved into the new house. First thing I did was insulate the garage/ shop, second was led lighting all over! Paid off in aces when I was painting the Chevelle! Scout 2, Baja starting this summer!

Not sure why you skipped over the part of finally getting it cranked and running? 🤔

any new updates?

This is the exact stage I’m at replacing inner/outer rockers, wedges, wedge floor supports on my 1978 Scout 2. You have done the best video I have come across for a newbie like me! Thanks a ton!

I hope you marked the torque converter to flywheel because it only bolts up one way

You didn't do a PSC box in the video. Gay

My dad bought a brand new 1977 scout. It was hunter green. He had it until he passed in 2001. It was very well kept, we sold it and the person said he was going to do some things to it and would send us some pics. But never heard back from him. Lots of memories in that scout. Our had bucket sets with a console and no carpet, rubber floors. You’ve got me hooked I’m going to watch all the episodes to see how it turns out.👍

Can you show us a setup of your exhaust

Dream find.. I’m looking for one myself.

Hi there, my selector Valve was also leaking from the vent port especially when switching tanks. I got air in the system after switching tanks and I’m blaming the valve because I don’t see any other leaks in the fuel lines . Do you have to prime the system after replacing the valve or will it bleed by itself if u let idle?

We got ours from a place nect to a cattle feedlot. 3-4 inches of muddy wet manure. Try THAT!!!

What are the dimensions on the tubing for the inner rocker? I like the idea of added strength and want to do the same. 2x3?

I have a blue oldAir Force crew cab that I’m making into a dually too

Did you do a 14 bolt to a dana 70 axle swap ? Besides the drive shaft what else is needed ?

Thanks for the video! How hard would this job be for a beginner welder? I don't care how pretty it is, I just want it to be structurally sound and my door to close as nice as it does now. Thanks!

Anyone here for the international skip ahead to 12:31 unless you want to waste your time on irrelevant drivel.

Sounds good and healthy im having trouble with mine Glow plugs wont turn on😩

I found on in a field in Connecticut what are these things worth??

Going back in with original motor/trans?

If you have removed the grille in front of the windshield to attach a screen on the bottom side to keep leaves, twigs and other debris from collecting and causing body rot [ a GREAT idea!], there's one more thing you should do while it's off: The windshield wiper motor is tucked away underneath the windshield on the passenger side. It's a royal pain in the neck to access. There's a tiny clip at the end of the wiper motor that keeps the wiper linkage attached to the motor. If the wipers are stressed too much from ice or anything else, that tiny clip will pop off, fall down into the fenderwell, and it will be gone into eternity. So take a strong double-sided magnet and plop that sucker down right at the top of the fenderwell between the top of the fenderwell and the wiper motor. That way if that tiny wonky clip should pop off, hopefully that robust magnet will grab it and hold onto it so it can be reattached. Believe me, it’s worth the effort. WARNING: Before reattaching the wiper linkage to the wiper motor, turn the ignition key to Accessories or On and ALLOW THE WIPER MOTOR TO COMPLETELY CYCLE OUT UNTIL IT STOPS before reattaching the wiper linkage! Otherwise you will be in for a rude surprise: the wiper arms will go flying off the edge of the windshield, possibly damaging the wiper blades. (No joy in that!) I learned about these things the hard way; while plowing snow in a supermarket parking lot during a snowfall one night with a '79 Scout II (304, 4-speed, Meyers Power-Angle plow) in South Plainfield, New Jersey, the wipers became stressed by the snow & ice buildup and that rotten little clip went bye-bye. That was a night to remember, all right! But that truck was a plowing fool; unstoppable. As I was driving down the streets, people were waving money at me to plow out their driveway… BTW: I have heard that the gas filler tube is attached to the fender with one screw [don’t know if it’s true or not; just sayin’] so you might want to make sure there’s no rust at that screw. If it’s true, and that filler tube breaks while you’re putting gas in, you will end up pouring gasoline on a hot exhaust pipe, which is NOT RECOMMENDED!!! :)

should have left converter in transmision and removed bolts at the flex plate

Useless

Are you going to sell it?

Love the scout’s, my pops had a 55 international pickup, it was a lot of fun to ride around in!!!😃😎😃

I drove a 73 Scout from the rustbelt to TX in 76. OK roads were freshly blacktopped, and some were pulled over with tire issues on the steaming pavement. I used a sturdy stick as a cruise control, but still got some blisters from the floorboard on my gas pedal foot. Stopped at a few rivers just to cool off. I was lucky to pull behind a few big rigs that allowed me in their draft. My Scout was white, with white spokers, and Armstrong tires. That 258 6 banger was a bad ass motor with plenty of guts. Man, I wish I had a nice old scout. Got a pretty nice 2000 GMC right now.

Change the oil, and filter, take all plugs out, put new in, new wires, cap, fuel filter, new gas BEFORE YOU START IT UP

It's easier to weld the end cap to the quarter panel, then place it all on the side at once. Anything Scout has a video showing this.

Doing a bad ass job on this build started watching a few months ago. Awesome to see how far you've come on it. Bummer tho ive let two ridiculously low priced scouts pass due to the front cab mounts being rotten and pushed up into the floor. But after watching your videos they dont look too horrible. Also i like how you used Square tubing for the inner rockers and having the little extra to hang down. Cant wait for more videos to come!

That welder sounds smooth AF tho

I got the titanium 140 at HF for 500$ and it's a multi process and can take a aluminum stinger, has inverter and digital read, comes with 6ft gas line and regulator, has tig, mig, flux, stick, and for 175$ get the alluminum stinger, does .30 and .35

Dude, great videos! But your lack of eye pro is killing me😬

that looks clean!

Subscribed!

Love these videos brother!!!

Merhaba bu araçtan bendede var ama bazı parçaları eksik bulma şansım olabilirmi✋🙏

sweet

Looks good!

I’m impressed brother!

Had a '79 Scout II when it was new, but after a couple of years it started rusting badly. I didn't have the tools or skill that you do, but I tried my best to stop the rust -- to no avail. You're doing a great job! These Scouts are worth restoring.
