1970 International Scout 800A Frame-off Restoration done by Anything Scout

This 1970 Scout was in my family for a few generations. It was my Grandfathers and my uncle's. When it became mine I decided to have it rebuilt from the ground up. I'm no mechanic so I went to the best in the business. Anything Scout in Ames. IA. They have done an amazing job. This Scout is top notch. I've never seen one even close to this quality. I am trying to list every part that has been replaced. upgraded or rebuilt.

I'm not sure how detailed most frame-off restorations are but this one was kinda insane. It is basically a new 1970 truck with lots of modern upgrades where it was important. Not only was the entire drivetrain rebuilt and upgraded but every bolt was replaced and in most cases with stainless steel.
