I just got to show this off. This is my neighbor’s International Scout he is restoring/refurbishing and she is a beauty. He recently got it back from paint.

My dad had Scouts for service vehicles for a John Deere dealership back in the day... I am partial....
That's gonna be a nice one! They are terrible rust buckets though. Either he has a ton in rust repair or somebody took REAL good care of it.
I worked with a guy back in the late 70s that had a couple. Rustiest things I ever saw. Both quarters would lift off the bottom like wings going down the highway !
Definitely don’t see many of those. The only one I’ve seen I see pretty regularly. The keeper of my school’s Eagle mascot has one a little newer than that one. He drives it around daily with a live bald eagle sitting on top of the back seat.
This is a horrible picture but you might can make it out.

That is a gorgeous truck CH, keep us updated.
CB, cool, but how does he get away with having the Bald eagle? I thought they were protected?

Nice truck. I had a customer on the tool route that had a farm repair shop and was into IHC. He restored a Scout that had the 1/2 of the 304 v8. It was a 152.

I worked with a guy who had a few Scouts with his Dad. His was lifted and made for mud, his dad's was stock. Th y had one or two that needed to be restored/refreshed.

Not sure about rust repair, I’ll have to ask him about that. Come to think of it, all the others I have seen have been rust buckets.
The color is not oem. He showed me 3 oem colors and asked me which one I liked best, then it showed up at his house that color, I believe he made the right choice.

It was injured and can never be returned the wild.
Then that's cool as ****!
