Neat.
When I was about 12 years old the mother of one of my friends drove a Scout, back in the early ‘70s. Wondering if those have anything like the following that the early Broncos have.

Anything left of the body? Those things loved to rust.

My father-in-laws rusted in places you'd never think would rust! Bought it new and within a year it had rust thru on the front fenders. (Ohio salt did it no favors)

That's got character! Nice find.
My dad was an oil & gas exploration scout (yes, that was the title). His job was keeping track of other companies' exploration (testing, drilling, seismic surveys) so he drove wherever they happened to be when I was a kid in the sixties. It was often rough going. He would check out a vehicle from the "pool" and I remember he was happy when he could get a Scout. |

Those are cool.
An old coworker of mine had and early ‘60s Scout and had a Jeep frame and drivetrain swapped in under it. Had the interior brushed up but left the outside looking weathered as found.

I had a friend that had a Scout II with the 345 V8 .. thing was a beast, like a piece of construction equipment.

The four cylinder is a lot like the Pontiac, half a V8. Restored there in the same range as the Bronco's. 70- 80 k. Needs rocker panels and I'm not sure what else. Haven't picked it up yet.

My dad had one that looked exactly like that when I was a kid. Forgot all about that thing.

Love Scouts! I tried to buy one and the deal fell through. Shook hands on the deal then he backed out! One of my good friends has owned one for 30 plus years. It's his property vehicle. Has 44's on it. Powered by a four cylinder. The thing will go anywhere! Good luck!

Cool Scout! Never owned one, but have wanted one for a while.
I'm currently wrenching on a '69 Bronco barn find project; similar vibe.

Looks like the MN winters werent to hard on it.
I see you are in Brainerd. A friend from years back had one up there. I will see if that might be around if you may need parts. Pretty sure it was a 61-62. Who knows, maybe that was his. |

I'm pretty sure they are POSI front and rear, great plow trucks.

I plowed a lot of snow with a 62 Scout back in the day, they were great work horses.
