just got this email from the guy im delaing with:

This was a Scout purchased new in 1962 by Wally Haskell father (one of John Paradis good friends) .  Wally was cleaning out his father’s barn and gifted the truck to John.  John has owned it for a short period of time and decided that he didn’t have the time to restore the vehicle.  So the vehicle has been owned and operated by 1 owner.

John says you can pick it up anytime you would like.  Give us a heads up when you are coming so we can have the area ready to have the truck moved out of our conference center and you can pull your trailer in. 

John did say that there is one catch…..after you finish the vehicle, at some point John would like to come out to see the vehicle and take it for a ride

sweet!!!

No hyd anything.. pedals go to the floor..

86hp. Wow. Be careful with that! :)

I'd be so tempted to make a v8 sleeper ice cream getter out of that.

Yeah but it weighs just slightly more than an anexoric model. The only time we had ours stuck it took my massive 12 year old self standing in the bed to add traction.
