Im at exit 13 off I-10 in Alabama.
Anyone is welcome to email me for my number, Im also in the book, and I will 
help anyone in this area.
 
I drove my daily driver 73 Travelall 1010 2wd last Sat pulling my 4x8 
trailer, the 16x6 was busy, to haul home the body for my latest project.

SII/800 Project is a trail only truck. It will be a 76 SII frame/axles with a 
70 800 body on it. Power will be whatever I can scrounge up to throw in 
there. I have a 304 that I was going to use, but it refuses to unstick despite 
liberal soaking with various elixers. I dont know what I will find when I tear it 
down.

You must be thinking, Scout body on a 4x8 trailer? Yes. I made 2 trips.
The dastardly previous owner (actually a pretty decent guy, just mislead) of 
the 800 was cruel enough to sawzall the body into 2 pieces (before I found it) 
in preparation to be scrapped. Sliced it right across the floor in front of 
the seats. Fortunately I DID find it before he could carry out his nefarious 
plan. The floor pan is relatively (what a word) rust free, so welding the body 
back into a single unit shouldnt be too difficult for a man of my many and 
various talents. Ahem. :-)

This Scout will be number 3 in the IH stable. It will join the aforementioned 
(what a word) 73 Travelall driver, and a 72 SII driver.

Lots of Scout II's around here, almost no 800s or Travelalls. The occasional 
IH pickup, usually beat up badly though.
