Description:

1968 IH Scout Project
I started this project several years ago and just have too many irons in the fire to be able to finish it. I am going to use bullet points here to list everything that has currently been done to the vehicle:
New Shocks
New Poly Gas Tank and All New Fuel Lines
Complete New Wiring Harness and New Blinker Light Control
Converted Brake System to Power Brakes and All New Lines
Converted Single Brl Oil Bath System to New 2 Brl Air System (Needs New Linkage Installed)
New Custom Rear Bumper with Hitch
Custom Tow Bar on Custom Front Bumper
Custom Roll Bars
Rust Removed from Undercarriage and New Metal Welded In
Engine Compartment Sprayed Black
Swapped Entire Front End Out For Jeep Including Axles
Entire Rear End and Axle Swapped Out for Jeep
I did these last two for a several reasons: One it needed all new ball joints, tie rod ends, linkage, etc. on the front end and those parts are impossible to find or impossible to afford if you do! Secondly, with the oil bath 1 bl conversion and the new rear end, we increased the top end speed by 10-15 mph to around 60-65 while still keeping her geared low enough in first to make her great in the mud. I have a notebook with all exact years and models that all of the replacement parts came from the power brake conversion to the underneath so that parts are readily available at your local parts store and on the cheap!
There are a ton of little things I am forgetting! She does smoke some but as I was toying with putting a straight six in it, I did not do the top end job that would probably resolve that. It runs smooth but to put it on the road you will have to manufacture linkage for the new carb and put some things back on...grill, headlights, etc. Also the tires are brand new...less than 100 miles but I let one sit and develop a flat spot so it makes the ride feel rough. It's a common tire and easily matched to the others! Everything it was missing I think I've ordered as far as the tailgate, panels that cover the door panels, rear view mirror, etc. I also have a half cab top that needs to be completely restored as well. I haven't touched it.
Just the carburetor, gas tank and wiring harness make up nearly $1200 of what I am asking so it won't come down any. In fact, I am starting the price at half of what I estimate I have into it and I do have notebook with all receipts, VIN numbers of the parts cars used, models and years, before and after pictures of rust that was cut and new metal welded in, etc. I haven't started it in about a year but if you work the carb linkage yourself it runs great...I actually rigged up cable ties a year ago just to run it up and down the road to see how the new carb was going to function.
I am in Riverview, Fl, just south of Brandon.
I have only a Bill of Sale to offer but will guarantee title as that is all Florida requires on an antique vehicle.
