Scout
Brian & Charline Prewitt's Scout
This 1980 IH scout II belongs to Tony Scalf
and Laura Lewis. Their Scout has a 345 v8, T-19A wide ratio 4 speed
transmission, a Dana 300 transfer case and Dana 44 axles front and rear
with a e-z locker in the rear and a gearless locker in the front. Tony
and Laura's Scout rides on 35x12.50
ProComp MT's. It is equipped with a
converted A/C compressor for onboard air that is used to run air tools
and air up tires. Tony selected a Mile Marker 9,000 lb hydraulic winch
and is working on a dc motor and pump to run the winch incase the 345
stops running. For safety they use a 10 point roll cage that is tied to
the frame in four different places along with the stock seat belts. Future
plans include preformed racing seats mounted to the roll cage and two
five point harness belts to keep them in place. What a shame that they
thought about passing up this scout to buy a jeep.
