The other one has no "apparent" rust (again just pictures) a few leaky tires and no spark, which would you choose and why? Newbie here and I'm just wondering what would be the bigger headache. Thank you in advance. ]]> Franzen160 http://forums.off-road.com/ih-scout-trucks/233597-if-you-had-choose-between-body-work-engine-work.html how much damage will reversing polarity do? http://forums.off-road.com/ih-scout-trucks/233583-how-much-damage-will-reversing-polarity-do.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:35:06 GMT im thinking about making an offer on a 69 scout with the straight 6.

I don't want to re-invent the wheel so I was hoping you could help me. If you have any input (good or bad) about buying, restoring, driving Scouts please chime in. Are any models better than others? What are some common problems with Scouts? etc. etc. Thank you in advance. ]]> Franzen160 http://forums.off-road.com/ih-scout-trucks/233578-looking-help-scout-owners.html Re-aquisition of 1967 Scout 800 http://forums.off-road.com/ih-scout-trucks/233527-re-aquisition-1967-scout-800-a.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:03:21 GMT I finally got my old Scout back, it took 10 years but its finally home again!
it's a 1967 Scout 800 with a 152 4 cylinder 4wd. When I bought it 11 years ago it came with a plow which is the reason I bought it. I had to get rid of it when I got divorced to a guy down the road. It sat in his gravel pit for the last 10 years and never moved. That guy is now having to sell his property and I was lucky enough to get the Scout back.
Please be patient with me as I will no doubt be asking some newbie questions.
take a look at the pic and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

John
