NEW LEGEND RUNNER: 1967 Scout 800

[@adamrocha2205]

I have a 1961 scout 80, that I'm rebuilding and i can't wait to drive it and use it for fishing and driving around in the country....

[@UnlockedDeru]

I can't wait until I can get a scout like this from you guys! My current scout is no where as nice as what you guys can do.

[@tjswenson123]

My new favorite!

[@Oldfashionedmawmaw]

This just came across my feed and its 3yrs old. But im glad it did!! That is absolutely a beautiful Scout!! I have a 70 Scout 800A series, 3 sp, with a slanted 4 motor. Would love to put a little bigger motor in it but i dont want anything with a computer chip in it. I did convert it to power steering for easier off roading. Mine had 33 12.5 tires on it when i bought it. It now has 35s. Had to cut the fender wells out a little when it had the wide tires on it. Mine does have some rust in the bed and i would love to fix mine up more if i had the extra money to do so. I just never wanted to fix it too nice because then i wouldnt want to off road in it like i do. It still has the drum breaks and i would love to switch to disc. Also the wiper blades quit working on it and when they did work, the faster you would drive, the faster they went swish. If you slowed down, they did too. But i love my old tank and i taught my son how to drive a stick shift in her. Having that slanted 4 tho, she does lug down going up hills on the highway but when you're off roading in 4wd she will crawl right up steep hills and embankments! And she'll pull your butt out of anything! Have pulled several jeeps and even a suburban out of mud with her! I love my Scout!!

What a great build and video.

appreciate in Bart!

Now that is a really beautiful looking Scout. Gorgeous color...in fact the whole vehicle is stunning. You know I am going to ride out to Ohio one day and spec one up with you guys.

.....they are in Iowa -the other Ohio.

[@lilredscout]

what a beauty. I have a 68 in darn good shape.

[@mec7568]

With a D30 front it must have been a 266 V8. With the new 4.8 LS you likely saved over 250 lbs. And now with power steering you will need to drive to the gym to work out! Awesome!!

[@catferris9257]

Good looking truck. Better looking man

[@NewLegend4x4]

haha

[@michaeljames5346]

I really like your interior choices made for the seats and panels, as well as the top... really makes it look classy!

[@tylertbone1234]

Super rad Scout guys! I’m in the market for a Runner series - blasting you a message through your website.

[@jonathanrichard582]

This is crazy i love this thing so much i could exchange my pinky finger for it

[@mattebatesco]

Googamooga...that's sweet!

[@peterwaserman2455]

I like the fact you can take the hardtop off and have the bikini under already to go....Another killer rig

[@Zetetic_Method]

That’s the best feature I think

[@NewLegend4x4]

Its a slick setup for sure.

[@Zetetic_Method]

*if money were no object* Who would choose this Scout over some Bentley or 2020 Ferrari besides me?

[@tcarey11]

Thanks for sharing. What a great build! Quick question - was the roll cage purchased from a 3rd party or done in-house? Most of the roll cages for the 800's that I find online are either over the top obtrusive or too small.

[@NewLegend4x4]

Thank you! All of our cages are done in house.

[@tcarey11]

@@NewLegend4x4 thanks for the quick response. I didn't see any of those styles available for purchase - are you able to make that happen?

[@SirSnoqualmie]

Great video, I’m 6’5” 280lbs would I be able to fit in a Scout 800? I’ve sat in Scout 80 and it was a little snug. Thanks for your input!

[@justinmeyer77]

I'm 6'5", 285lbs. I fit in a '66 Scout 800 just fine. Pedals are tight, for sure.

[@joefunk2137]

Killer!

[@TheNecronacht]

Love those colors in and out... Great bikini top too!

[@Zetetic_Method]

They’re perfect aren’t they

[@edriley1516]

Where do you guys get the Indian Blankets for the door panels?..(I seen it in one of your other videos with the Scout II headliner). Thanks.

[@Zetetic_Method]

It’s pretty much how you’re picturing it’s done. With a little craftsmanship & ingenuity. •cut actual Indian blanket down to panel size •use a fabric glue, adhering it to a reinforced backing •fix the blanket/board to the panel as you would any interior piece. Then... •Voilá. C'est fait!

[@edriley1516]

@@Zetetic_Method Hey thanks but my question was "where" do you get the blankets? I've searched all the local online places including eBay and can't seem to find one is both long and wide enough even with trimming....(for headliner, not door panels).

[@NewLegend4x4]

@@edriley1516 A variety of places. Some are truly vintage and you find them when you find them, we have gotten some from companies such as Pendleton.

[@cesarforever5201]

How much to convert mine to that finish product???

[@NewLegend4x4]

Hey Cesar! The Runner Series is a special build in our models. It needs quite honestly a perfect condition, though with patina, donor Scout to start. You can check out more about our models and prices here: www.newlegend4x4.com/builds/ Feel free to send us an email at [e-mail] if you have any questions!

[@cesarforever5201]

Thank you

[@BuddyQuaid]

Help me with my 67 Scout! It's all original. Was previously rebuilt but then never got driven. Finally got passed down to me and I have sank about 10G's into and it still has startup problems. Original engine, stock everything. Great condition though and i can get it to run. I did change to disk brakes in the front with all new brakes both front/back. 2 poly tanks. However, it's hard to gas up because the travel for the nozel has to be so deep. How did you get around that?

[@lefachop5755]

They put a chevy LS in it...

[@mattbowling7811]

Anyone have a lift kit suggestion? I'm trying to fix up my 67 but I'm not finding many options

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

My 800 scout had factory 16 wheels.

[@benjaminhenderson1759]

Which scout between 800 and scout ii is harder to modify? I have ability to get a hold of both body type. And which is actually lighter. I want to fix one up for myself, or have you do a few very speacal mods to my knowledge hasn't been done to a scout. Who do I need to talk to for this prodject?

[@notapplicable3450]

Is this for sale?

[@edriley1516]

Bee-U-tee-ful!....aren't you the same guy from Anything Scout?

[@NewLegend4x4]

same same, but different.

[@joesfamilyfarm]

Should have left it original.

[@danesderelicts]

Especially if it was a low mileage original! Nothing wrong with Scout motors.

[@timothypearson6101]

What a bummer. I was half way through the video when I realized we weren't going to get to see it operate.

[@blueduster74]

There’s nothing wrong with modern drivetrain in our old rigs. I did a 360 magnum/NV4500/Dana300 in my 79 Ramcharger 14 yrs ago. It’s carbed because efi was not easy back then. Now with Mopar and Holley among others offering ECUs for the 09-newer Hemi I’ll be making that switch next year.

[@thelorax7704]

Ugh. I wish trucks like this would be left alone and just cared for. 38,000 original miles. What a shame.

[@danesderelicts]

What a shame. Take a low mileage original vehicle an put a belly button motor in it.😢
