  • That's right - The ultra rare SD33T - Nissan Turbo Diesel 1980 Scout II. This one sat in the weeds for almost 2 decades. I'm going to attempt to get it running and drive it over 600 miles back home!

      The thing will be, that his dad was able to fix something, and that thing being a mechanical unit that intermittently compressed air and the injected hydrocarbons pumped from the ground that came from the distilled carcasses of prehistoric animals. A series of explosions used to move the vehicle forward. I will probably seem more primitive than a steam engine does to our eyes today. How many people in 70 years will be able to fix or repair anything at all. Many today cannot even.
      This is part of the joy I get - seeing machines being fixed, rejuvenated and brought back into operation.

      What happened to "flying cars, hoverboards, and self tying shoes?" there are a few examples....but they are concepts far out of the reach of most people. We've just refined what we had over the past century and now people focus on things that dont matter today and buy into what they are told.....
      "How many people in 70 years will be able to fix or repair anything at all."
      The issue with this statement wont be because of technological advances, it will all be due to the ineptitude and laziness of people. You can see that pattern today all around you, people would rather someone e else do it for them and would rather not bother to learn for themselves. Idiocracy was a prophecy. I know I sound pessimistic/cynical but its the truth.

    When I was your Son's age, me and my Dad would take his '31 Model A to swap meets. We would have to leave around 5:00AM on Sundays to avoid traffic if we had to take a frwy. He would always find a place with pancakes ("hot cakes") and I could have all I wanted then off to the swap meet. Sometimes we would be driving for an hour and not one word. Then my Dad would look over at me and smile and I would smile back. No words. Some of the best memories this 64 year old man has. That feeze frame of you and your Son took me right back to those days. PS The truck is in my garage. My Dad Willed it to me over my 3 older family members as they never really liked it or wanted to go to swap meets that early with my Dad on Sundays. I learned to drive in the truck.

Stood up in front of the judge and said I don’t want them. 😞 That made me a good dad though. I make sure my boys have all these types of memories. I would never leave them. I don’t know how he did it. Honestly I don’t know why I shared that, but it made me feel a bit better. 🤔

      I feel ya! My Dad was a career military man. 30 years in the Army deployed all over the world. He hardly noticed that we existed (or so it seemed most of the time). Even after I joined the Army myself we had little to do with each other. Today we are both retired. I moved to Texas 23 years ago after a big blow up fight with him. He did come to Texas for my wedding 11 years ago though. A couple years ago I went to Kentucky to take him on a fishing trip, and he kinda just blew that off. Last week, I drove up again to pick up an old RV that he decided to give me about 5 years ago. Just like Derek does give her a good once over, change or top off some fluids, air up the tires and hope for the best! 1800 mile round trip with my son in law! A trip he'll never forget!

    Have you thought of fibreglassing the rotten underside of these vehicles? You get structure and salt resistance in one. Or a few layers of mesh and bedliner, for a quick patch. And polycarbonate for window replacement as you can cut onsite with a saw or grinder. And stronger than the glass. And fill the rust pockets with spray foam so more mud and moisture can't get in there again. The rocker I would slide a aluminium pipe in and fibreglass it in. All dodgy but gets it done fast.

    This scout reminded me a lot of my dads 68 bronco. I spent a lot of time with my dad in that thing. Glad to see you take your son along. Memories will last a lifetime

    Brings back memories of my grandfather driving me around in his 1972 Scout II. I need to get it roadworthy, it has a brake leak and a radiator leak. Last time I toyed with it, I couldn't find where the brakes were leaking from but I'll give it another shot when I get the time. Perhaps I'll make a video out of it. It's been sitting since 2013 and the thing really is as mint as can be, not a spot of rust, no dents at all.
    Update: I replaced the rear brake hose, and the radiator. The new rad is slightly taller than the original, so I need to make a bracket for the fan shroud, then it’ll be ready to go. Really excited to drive it again.
