glad you asked
it's a 72 Scout II with all Ford running gear.
i swapped in a 460 with an NV4500, 205 t-case. HP 60 in the front, 10.25 in the rear with beadlocked 37's.
right now it's torn apart in the garage. i'm doing a four link in the rear and three link in the front. with an air bag suspension using some semi trailer air bags.
Ummmm I think we need pictures

Thats one good looking trail rig

it's still the IH frame. all i had to do is make motor mounts and a trans cross member, modify the spring perches a little and i re-wired it at the same time so i just wired it to work with the duraspark.
I've also done a ton of little things like front and rear LED side marker lights and LED tail lights.
I'm bobbing the bed right now and using the four link to stretch the wheel base.
also getting the hight down, you can see from that first pic it sat pretty high.
