A guy bought tires and wheels that were too big for the stock suspension. So I did the right thing and picked up a lift, tires, wheels, bumper, and more! Let’s transform this once abandoned farm truck, into something really cool!

#vgg #international #scout
In my 20's living in Montana I had a 77 scout 2. 345 international v8 with a borg Warner 3 speed. Man that thing went anywhere and was quick getting to 65 but took a downhill run to get to 70 but I really miss getting rid of it.
Tune up any greasle this way…
1. More fuel
2. More air
3. Ditch the exhaust whirller and add a crank driven boosty whirller.
Derek bring this rig back and upgrade. I love Patina but I think this rig needs a paint job.
This is one of my favorite vehicles you've done, absolutely love it
This would have been my daily form the get go. Now its even cooler
Hi all, I work on old stuff pretty much like you but being a retired sailor I would have to say my vocabulary is a might bit more eloquent.
Man that diesel fires right up. Impressive
Dont like the new bumper. Doesnt protect anything and doesnt look as kangaroo mean.
You know why technical people use the metric system, right?
Elkhorn creek riders retreat in elkhorn city Kentucky. Nothing too harmful plenty of mud holes and very cheap access to cabins I got family that lives a mile from entrance that has a garage & tools if you happen to break anything & need a spot out of the rain. It’s in 41522 zip code brother check it out shouldn’t be too far from you in Tennessee
That,s what I,m talking about Derek. For now, it looks great and ready for fun. A little later spruce it up a little inside .🎉
"Scout ..anything less is just a car "…my late father worked on IH gear for 46 years ,tractors and trucks ..but he never got a scout ..mum would not let him spend that amount of money ..
Would be a good rig to make a "bug out vehicle", "prepper vehicle" You know it will run on anything for fuel and go almost anywhere and have great pulling torque for a small trailer. Could be a great couple of episodes upgrading it. Of course when, yup…when, things go south you will be able to be mobile.
I have installed a few lift kits and it's always fun!
Absolutely you need to paint the back bumper!
Before u throw money on a overhaul, diesels have basic specs that need met like a gasser does. There are many things worth checking first. As always, love your show and your fantastic family
It may have no guts but it sure sounds the part! Looks like it could use 1" more lift in the back and will look even better with the spacers. Get some low gears for it and drive the heck out of it!
Unbelievable how good it came out 🎉
I always wanted a Scout it's Great!!!
When or if you rebuild the diesel engine please post it in the way you done the 300 ford six cylinder. That video was great. You really took the time and went thru it very thoroughly and educated us. Thank you for a great show!
That’s a dose of motivation
love this truck!!!
The scout looks awesome with the new add ons . And those rims top it off. Now to just add some more hp's to it .
They look a lot like the ones that was on it they're perfect
r it's your vehicle should I put the wheels you like on that's what I always say lol I like anything you pick
I had a scout 2 once. What I remember most was the trip to the emergency room.😊
Take the scout to Big South Fork Recreational Area
Wow,love lt,mad scientist again does it
A Beets shoutout! Love those old service truck style vehicles
Derek i highly recommend PB blaster for rusted fasteners or anything stuck. That stuff is magical. Make all your work with rusted rigs much easier. I never use any other after using this stuff.
Originally I was in the USN Seabees and home port was Port Hueneme, CA I knew 2 guys that bought older Scouts (1964's ? ) that were USN Surplus, looking back ! I wish I would have bought one, there was a number of them for sale thru Military Base Property disposal sales
like the scout looks good i have a 1978 cj5 4'' lift 35'' tires 360 400 hp amc motor t18 4 spd it has a throttle down custom frame i enjoy it very much
SCOUT Looks Sik Derek…nice work
To each is own and like they say it looks good from my house!!! But i think it looks really good but i like when the raw medals was lighter.. i remember the revival video i couldn't get over how good the patina looked!!! But the lighter color is more natural looking put the dark looks better just depends on if you want it to look real good or for it to look real natural
719 waffles for you canadians lmfao. That just about killed me there 😂
I usually don’t like vehicles raised but I must say it looks great!
I have one. it's my dad's, and the power is not there, and his is low mileage, not much to add power but can turn the diesel pump up very slightly.
I know I’m way late to the festivities – 2nd go around watching and don’t even know if you still have this rig but here’s the advice I read-
could get a bigger turbo for it and turn up the boost would help ALOT!
You'd think it was big cam 400 the way it smokes 😅
Take it all the way. It’s a great looking truck
I really like this one.
You are Red Green in real life! Love the humor!
I WORKED AT INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER IN THE YEARS THIS WAS POPULAR Delivered parts in one , owned one just like it NEW ! I loved it and still dream about it. I Would love to own one again.. I wold buy it.
I believe u my be one of best mechanic I seen in a while I am 64 yrs old I seen my shir of them keep up the good work
I’ve been depressed because of some health issues but binge watching VGG makes me feel better.
They were not fast but super capable off road. Friend of mine has one built nice they crawl hills cause diesel don’t care like a carb does. 👍
I almost bought one of these new…until I discovered they’re so grossly underpowered they can’t get out of their own way. It’s essentially useless unless you build something from the bones.
