Let me know if you want some tan.

Yep.  I'll salvage the emissions equipment because I'm thinking of moving 
closer to Denver, and they *might* require it in my '74 Travelall.  Also,
I'll
get a good black dashboard, and a gasoline tank (vs my current diesel
tank).
I'll have a 304 builder, TF727, Dana20, and some 4" springs left over.  Let
me know if anyone out here is interested in any of these.  BTW, the springs

look good, but manufacturer is unknown.  Unfortunately it is worth more as
scrap than as a whole, since the PO took the axles off.

Thanks Steve, but you know, it appears to work better when you don't intend
for it to work than when you are trying to get it to work!

Hey, thanks all for the rumblin' rear tips - I just knew it couldn't
actually be
axle wrap with those stiff springs!

Oh, and sadly, I will have to replace one of the IHs in my fleet with a
furrin
(non-IH) make.  I've decided that my scout is non-optimal for 3 hours of 
commuting a day.  So today I was at a Mercedes dealer in Denver looking
at a used Audi Quattro.  While driving around the salesman spent about 15 
minutes asking me about my Scout - he was thinking seriously about buying 
one! He mentioned that there was a store in Denver called "The Intl Scout 
Store"!
