this is the original 1977 scout chassis unmodified
here is the finished chassis with modified frame, rebuilt engine and trans,3" lowered engine and trans mounts, spring over conversion, new springs,shocks,braided brake lines,and steering link
first time setting the body on new chassis
the finished truck i still need to have the front driveshaft made so no trail pics yetthe goal of my truck was to make a monster tuff bronco that would not only last a long time but would perform well on and off road. I rebuilt the engine with name brand parts even though it only had 70,00 miles on it. the transmission was totally rebuilt with b&m parts for durability and longivity. the frame had all mounts removed and new ones fabricated for the body,suspension, engine, and transmission. scouts are built with the spring under the axles so to add ground clearance i did a spring over axle conversion. this combined with the wheelbase modificatios would have made the drive shaft angles to great. so i lowered the engine and trans mounts 3" in the frame to compensate. the list goes on and on but that is the major stuff. I have installed longer braided steel brake lines for more droop when off roading but wont get to try that out untill i have the front drive shaft done.
