[ihc] RE: Gone Postal

["Peter Shubin" <pshubin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What other things can I look for to tell hat year it is?  In the big scheme
of things it really does not matter but I'm just curious.  Are there any
markings other than on the VIN plates like a stamp on the frame I can look
for to see what I have.  I'll order a line set ticket and see what it says.

The passenger door (left) has holes in the door what was probably a mirror
mount.  I'll probably just end up mounting some aftermarket mirrors to the
far rear of the front fenders like I did on my Scout II.

Thanks

Pete

Side markers started approximately the same time as the 800B.  800As had
the round reflectors. I'm not sure how yours got to be with no markers. 
Are you sure the VIN plate hasn't been switched to an earlier chassis?

I don't recall any mirror setup for no doors;the only ones I remember
were the ones on the doors and I don't remember that you could buy the
800 without doors, although back when the Scout first started, outside
mirrors were optional.  I suspect they were required by 1971.

Side markers were mandated in 68. The 68 800 has them, as does the 1000C
series pickup and travelall. It may be that the postal scout did not need
them. It's just as likely that the postal scout is a leftover 66 or 67. Only
your lineset ticket knows for sure.
