He thinks a common rail motor is a "clamoring pile"?

Sounds like a true gear head. He does not need all the bells and whistles but needs to get where he is going. I can truly relate.

I liked his description of Scout ownership..

I still get a little weepy when recalling the sound of my old Travelall with a 392 V8 with factory duals...

Easy there, Mike, or we'll have to sign you up at 'Binders Anomymous...

Great article, nice read, i can feel with him.
I call my Truck sometimes my Dozer because of its Engine sound.

I chose mine for the same reason. It’s the modern version of what he prefers. I’m just glad I was able to get mine new.

When I was a kid a local guy had a 69 Travelall. He used it mainly for coon hunting with a cast of characters that had to be seen to be believed. We all called it a TravelSome because it often came back early in the morning on the tight end of a rope behind something a little more dependable.

A while ago we were at a local restaurant, and a guy rolled up in a Scout Sportroof AKA a Farmall Fastback.

I also feel lucky that I was able to purchase mine new. I also feel that if we were ever to sell these things, we would look back on it later and miss what they offered.
