Should have started the motor! this truck is awesome and i love driving it. Thanks to the Anything Scout crew for making this happen.

[@JonnyWD]

What did all the upgrades run you?

[@jonsnow1410]

Love the Video! Love what you guys do to these trucks! I wish I could get one from you one day! I have only one request. Please show a full shot of the truck in the video. I so badly wanted to see a full shot of the exterior and the end of the video came and nothing. Next time!! Thanks!! Cheers.

[@philipsmart525]

Sean, I love the forest service green on that scout. Beautiful work.

[@davidlotspeich5547]

Hey love the channel. Can you do more shots that show the whole truck and not closeups of parts. We want to see those awesome builds!

[@anythingscout]

hey David! that is definitely the norm of our videos and something we want to continually improve on! the reason for the lack of exterior shots on this video is because we really wanted to highlight what we did specifically on this build as we didn't touch the exterior. thanks so much for the support and the kind words, we will definitely show more of the Scout regardless in the future!!

[@Treepole]

While breaking down my 1970 Scout 800 for my rebuild I'm working on I uncovered an old pop top beer can lid. Lol

Great video but we barely saw the whole vehicle!

[@anythingscout]

in this one we decided to specifically focus on what we did to this build! we know you guys love the stance and overall look of these builds so we will be sure to focus ore on that in the next videos! thanks for the kind words, we appreciate your support!!!

[@alderbottomoutdoors9794]

Go figure, another great vid!

[@anythingscout]

glad to hear you enjoyed it!! we are trying to keep em coming!

[@jimpriour4608]

I have a 1974 with original 345 been thinking about either a 4.8 ls or even a 3.0 diesel

[@pbcampervans3096]

Love your guys drivability conversions! I purchased a 2.5 rough country lift for my scout from you guys and was wandering if there is anything else you guys do to clear 33’s ?

[@scoutnabout288]

I have the same question, looking forward figuring this out.

[@stevebrown5603]

Love scouts love ih love 4.8 chevy's...but I'd usually keep the ih power train

[@charlesharrison6650]

Awesome Video!! Come to Hawaii and rebuild my '73 Scout II. ALOHA!!

[@anythingscout]

Deal.

[@terrycruisin3042]

Is this one a frame off resto?

[@phildelatova1630]

Sean love this scout and this channel. How is this repowered scout going to live in California ?
I saw CA plates on it .

[@hairygreens5347]

Anyone have an idea why my running lights and break lights wont work 73 Scout ll

[@anythingscout]

start easy, check and clean the grounds first.

[@devinsmith3069]

Beautiful!
I have a very clean and original 78 scout. Can you give me a rough idea of what an overhaul like this would cost?

[@cbassrobison8510]

You can go to the anything scout website to see how much it will cost.

[@chillpill83]

Typical drivetrain conversion is 25k. Can balloon from there depending on what else you want to do. Highly worth it though and had it done to my Scout.

[@thewatsonian8111]

What sort of economy can you expect from the 4.8L?

[@anythingscout]

you can expect somewhere in the 16-18 range with an average Scout and normal highway mileage!
