I love the scouts. One of these days I will have one.
I do have a Scout story that was told by a friend of mine.
At the time, he was working in a plant in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area (early to mid 2000's) as and industrial maintenance tech. He had a co-worker that at one time, had been an IH Employee working at the Ft. Wayne Scout Plant. Toward the end to the Scouts (late 70's) his co-worker had ordered/purchased a new Scout through the employee program.. Once it went into production, someone found out which Scout was the one being made for this guy. Once he took delivery, he found the drivers window would only roll down an inch or so and then stop. Being someone who builds them, he took the door apart to see what was wrong. Once he had the door panel off, he found a chunk of 2x4 cut to length, and placed in the door between the bottom of the door and the window. This board had the signature of every employee that had touched this Scout throughout the plant and was placed there before delivery, as joke, and a gift from his co-workers in the plant. He removed the wood so the window would work, but it was kept with the Scout......
