Scouts West

Got this engine from big John, put in new rings, did a valve job, replaced rod bearings, oil pump, valve springs, water pump, thermostat, and spark plugs, then resealed it.

Video of it running.

sweet. Looking good

Thanks. Almost had it ready in time for Scoutsmas, ran out of time.

The roll up handle on the tailgate broke on the back side, I put the piece it engages with onto this T handle. It has splines to engage with the regulator. I can use this until I get another handle, or change to electric.

There's always a way to make something work.

Yep.

I got Mike checking on everything I need to convert to electric.

Havn't been able to find a manual type handle.

The rust in the back had a big hole I could lose stuff through, I did a temporary fix because I have other priorities right now. I got this sheet at a place that buys and sells metal. I bolted it down through the rear seatbelt holes, so it won’t come sliding out of there on an uphill.
