I LOVE Scouts, they are beautiful, and reliable machines. My friend craig actually drives a '65, and he's turned it into an amazing rock crawler.
If ya have any questions, I'm more than happy to help ya out.
I mostly play in the sand, and I'm currently building my '98 F150 into a pre-runner with the goal of entering Best In The Desert as a class 8000 Truck by 2010.
I'm thinking about turning this new F150 into a prerunner too, just because it's a lot of fun, plus it'll give me something new to get out and play with.
