    That jackstand is to give my t-cases a bit of support 'till I can fab a second crossmember.

    More to the point, progress!

    Finished building the box for my propane tanks, chopped out the old rusted bed floor, built a subfloor for support, and cut, broke, fit, and welded the floor in.

    Propane tank box and subfloor:


    New 16 Ga. floor welded in:


    About half of my bottles will be below the floor line:


    I'm planning on the finished product looking something like the in-law's ride:


    Here's what the rest of it looks like, can't remember if I ever posted pics of the finished product:

    I'm kinda getting blocked in w/o a motor, so I think I'm going to start bending a 'cage in the near future. If you're still interested, don't mind my design, and don't mind suffering the heat we can get yours knocked out at the same time. I know you wanted to do something different with the bed area, but the cab portion of the cage should be the same. Shouldn't be too difficult (in theory ) to duplicate parts from the "B" hoop forward. What say you?

    looking Good Andy....did you have to reconstruct the floor supports in the rear or just the rear floor? I need to repair the whole rear bed in mine but I haven't decided how I'm going to do it yet.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.

    On mine, the rear bed was in good shape but nearly completely rusted away along the perhiphery. The original floor supports were in good shape, but where they met the bed sides had rusted out. I would've loved to have saved them but there was nothing to attach them to. This seemed to be the easiest fix for my problem, since between the tank box, rear seat, and yet-to-be-added storage baskets I will have virtually no empty floor area.

    Thanks for the compliments guys. To answer your question Eric the hardtop does not fit. Not that I was ever going to use it anyway, since the "flange" on the bottom is all but rusted away. Anyone want a free Scout II hardtop?

    Trans went to the shop Wednesday and I ordered my motor yesterday. Reman. 460 from a '71 Lincoln MkIII, 365 hp/500 ft.# factory, 10.5:1 compression, .040 over, cam upgrade (RV-style), & Melling oil pump. Dual quad intake manifold is here, ordering my propane setup Monday. Should be fun.
