Nick,

The Traveler was first introduced in 1976 and is simply a Scout II with 18"
additional inches of length added behind the doors to make a total 118"
wheelbase.  Most of the parts are compatible with a regular 100" wheelbase
Scout II, with the exception of parts that get lengthened for the additional
wheelbase.  Some folks like the Traveler because of the extra cargo room in
the rear.

For information on the V345 engine, try Jim Weed's Tech Tip page at

Have fun,

John
