Man......that is a nice Scout. Bumper too

That's one great looking Scout.

My dad drove a '69 IH Travelall when I was growing up. I loved that beast.

Thanks guys.I have a little fun with it myself while restoring it.Cant beat the feeling of a big block and 4speed with the safari top off.Just plain fun.

Wow.. Lucky kid. Does he know he's getting it? How old is he? Thats a sweet truck.

I'd say use a larger OD tube for the FJ. The Scout looks great, just a little on the small side IMHO.

Thanks.Yes he knows he's getting it.It was meant as a father/son project and incentive to get good grades in school.He is 14 so 2 more years and its his.

I always thought the FJ looked like a Scout/FJ retro combo......anyway.
How did you bend the pipe?
I did a project a while ago and used an electicians pipe bender.
