Yeah as far as I know Bushwacker doesn't make flares for a Scout that look like that, I know they don't make cut-outs for sure. What are they originally for, a Ford, Chevy, Dodge???...they look like they fit perfectly. (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Awesome rig, I agree with Rich those are the best looking flares I've seen on an 800. Mine suck, but I couldn't find any 30 years ago. (said over 3 years ago by Rob ).
There for a chvey I don't remember what model exactly but if you want I can find out lol (said over 3 years ago by Nico).
does anyone know of a good powersteering pump to put it in the scout i currently have the scout ii pump but need something stronger
(said over 3 years ago by Nico).
Nico, if you could find out what model/approx. year that would be awesome, I am seriously interested in these flares for my 800. (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
I can't quit staring at it, that is a really nice 800 you have. Do you have any more pics of it? (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Rich, I've seen all the great scouts you've posted on this site, but which one is yours? I'm interested in those flares also. (said over 3 years ago by Rob ).
There off a chevy s10
What is your scouts title so I could check it out. Ill post more pics soon at work right now
Thanks for your intrests (said over 3 years ago by Nico).
I actually don't have any pics of it up yet. It is a '69 Scout 800, and it has lived its whole life in the midwest, needless to say the body has seen much better days. Right now I am in the process of accumulating parts, (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
This is my only scout. Lol I wish I had more lol I'm only 20 lol (said over 3 years ago by Nico).
and checking out lots of other Scouts for ideas, and I see alot of stuff I like. Did I mention that I HATE rust, and salt! But thats what makes it fun. (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Well thats impressive, don't sell it. I was a die-hard, early Bronco guy, sold it and build up my first Scout fell in love with it, got bored with it and sold it. I have been kicking myself ever since. (said over 3 years ago by Rich Nelson).
I could never sale this beast to much blood sweat and tears lol and it was my first build with the girlfriends dad so it will be with me forever lol.
He has the early bronco on my profile pic that he's has been working on for a bit. (said over 3 years ago by Nico).
Nico, mine is a '68 "TRUSTEE". I originally thought mine was a'69 because that's on the registration but the vin# confirmed that it's a '68. Yours has a '70 nose, but no side marker lights. (said over 3 years ago by Rob ).
the vin# match as a 71 when i checked the dmv papers is there any other ways to tell? (said over 3 years ago by Nico).
Your right about those flares, very nice addition. Well built machine, looks good, What are they off of? (said over 3 years ago by Joseph C. Archuleta).
I believe from about # G436600 thru G447268 were '71 800b's, but they also came out with 810 or scout II that same year. Bottom line is I think they did some partying at International. (said over 3 years ago by Rob ).

Hey just moved to vallejo, someone on the board said i should contact you, looking for somewhere to go wheeling (said over 2 years ago by bruce).
Hey Nico, Nice rig!!! The flares are a great touch. I know you can also use the bushwacker cutout fender flares for a 66 ford branco. no much cutting is needed if you use them. I'm been looking at them and they run about $168.00 per set. (said over 2 years ago by Daryl Allen).
Hey, where did u get ur fender flares? And if I may ask how did u do ur lift? (said about 1 year ago by demetri).
