My dad had a Scout II when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty cool back then. I've heard most of their rust problems stemmed from the insides of the body panels not even being painted. Very durable trucks otherwise. I also heard a story, an IH line worker said to a co-worker as he finished his can of pop "This will drive someone crazy" then threw the can into the body and screwed the panel shut.

The owner prefers using the upgrade, but I thought if I could figure out the restoration issues without too much trouble it might be fun to restore the CVR and have the option. To totally upgrade the CVR it might be fun to use something like a Teensy to simulate the old one. This IH Scout has a V8, but I don't know any of the particulars. I'll ask the owner what kind it is and maybe link some pictures if that is alright. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
