Here's the one you've all been waiting for!
Ground up restoration of a lifetime California Scout
purchased originally in rust-free, well cared for condition. Third owner. Purchased in CA summer of 2014. Restoration
done by a California-based Scout enthusiast / collector. There are NO rust
issues with this truck, inside or out. Body is spectacular (see photo detail). Engine is
exceptionally strong and sound, see itemization for extensiveness of recent
rebuild…
Transmission is T-18 4-speed with 3.55 gearing. Professionally converted to a Throttle Body
fuel injection with custom chip from Hamilton. Computer controlled timing, meaning no waiting for warm up - just get in
and go. New battery (Oct ‘15), new
battery cables, rebuilt kingpin bearings, new tie rods (ends from Scout Madness). New shocks, leaf spring bushings. All new belts and hoses, new heater
core. Rebuilt brake master cylinder, all
new brake hard and soft lines. Completely rebuilt transfer case and transmission seal with gasket
kit. Rebuilt clutch with resurfaced
flywheel, new rear main seal. The oil
pan gasket is new, as are valve cover gaskets. Both factory gas tanks have been removed and boiled out professionally by radiator specialist. Wheels are clean
original chrome (coveted rally style) and tires have just over 1, 000 miles of
use. Interior completely redone (front and
back bench seats) in Camel vinyl. Windows
tinted with 20% tint. All rubber (front windows, doors, back gate) purchased
new in 2014 from International and professionally replaced. Full size spare rides on back gate with new
cover. A real rarity, the original side mirrors are included and chrome is in amazing shape considering the age (see photo)
The Scout does not have a radio. Wipers don’t work - vacuum system is an
easy repair that we have not prioritized. Only one of the gas tanks is plumbed. The Scout has four tanks and all three remaining are clean and can easily be
hooked up if desired. Side mirrors need tightening and roof requires repainting.
Delivery is the responsibility of the seller but we can help with recommendations. We had the Scout trucked here from CA, which was very easy to arrange and reasonably priced.
Extras:
Brand new condition full mechanical manual - difficult
to find
New jerry gas can - 2 gallon
