1977 IHC Scout II - $3,500 I gained possession of this beast in 1990 as a stock 1977 IHC Scout II. I have been building and driving it since. Original parts include the radiator, inner front fenders, hood, passenger door, dash, steering column, back seat, axle housings, right rear axle, and transfer case shift knob. Everything else has been replaced at least once. It's been there, bent this, broke that, been improved, and start over. This truck may not be pretty, but it works. It is set up for heavy duty off-roading and moderate rock crawling. If you are looking for a turn-key back country beater, here it is. If you are building up your own Scout, here's all the parts you'll want. Just unbolt your body, attach it to this chassis, and you'll own the best looking, most bodacious Scout in your neighborhood. This Scout is equipped with ARB air lockers, the best lockers available. You are buying the ARBs and getting the rest of the truck for free. Features and Upgrades Front and rear ARB air lockers. Lock those front and rear differentials on the fly when you want to. Installed by Predator 4WD in 1991 along with 3.73 gears. About 42K miles on them Onboard ARB compressor: Runs lockers and can be used to air up tires 8,000lb Warn winch with onboard and remote controls. Winch is in excellent working order. About 100' of cable in good condition. Winch bumper Front tow hooks Excellent running 345 V8: Installed in 1995. Reputed to have been pulled from a 1980 Scout with 80K miles on it. I have put less that 16K on the truck since the swap Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor 1" manifold riser Extra big K&N air filter Fuel pressure regulator Exhaust headers feeding custom dual exhaust system mounted above frame Electric and mechanical fuel pumps. Electric pump controlled by the driver Borg-Warner T-19 4-speed manual transmission with granny (6.32:1) first gear: Change from automatic to T-19 in 1994. I've put about 75K on transmission. Prior miles unknown Dana 20 transfer case Dana 44 axles 1/8" thick differential covers Rancho suspension with 2.5" lift Reversed front suspension: Professional installation based on Jim Maulis design Extended and reinforced rear suspension hangers Steering stabilizer 3.73 gears Two sets of 34" tires on rims: 34" Super Swamper tires: About 25% tread remaining. Siped. The left rear has a side wall puncture courtesy of an especially evil stick. It is patched on the inside and has a tube in it, but really should be replaced. I've been saying that for the past three years 34x10.5 BFGoodrich Mud terrains. About 25% tread remaining CV-joint on front drive shaft. Will run at 60mph in 4WD without vibration Reinforced rear drive shaft Superwinch front lockouts Reinforced chassis: I cracked and broke the original chassis in many places as I built up the truck and pushed it ever harder. When I did my last rebuild, I took the old chassis and its replacement to a professional welder with desert race building experience and had him reinforce every weak point. I've not had a chassis problem since Front disk brakes (stock) Rear disk brake conversion using Cadillac calipers and Lincoln rotors Cadillac power brake booster Stout rear pipe bumper with integrated 2" receiver for snatching Jeeps out of mud and snow. Used many times for this purpose 3" body lift Cut down Traveler top with hinged targa top for open air wheeling without soft-top hassles. My own invention Aftermarket cruise control Aftermarket intermittent wipers Manual choke Manual throttle control Large, stout custom console Bucket seats Body mounted padded roll bar Rear skid plate Interior mounted spare tire Interior mounted spare rear axle Integrated cargo tie downs to keep gear and passengers in place on the rough stuff Very loud Clarion stereo to impress the bears while wheeling and compete with the wind noise at speed Stereo console dust cover Convenient dash mounted single side band CB radio so you mates can call for help Authentic bashes, dings, scrapes, scratches, dirt and dents Brand new OEM steering box installed in 1999: 9K miles on new box All wheel bearings and seals replaced within the last 1,000 miles as part of normal maintenance Maintenance records and accessory manuals I've used this bad boy hard, but I've also kept it up mechanically with regular fluid changes, tune-ups, and replacement of bent and broken parts. The body is definitely worse for wear. If aesthetics are not your thing, then it is still serviceable. It keeps the elements out and the heat in. The engine runs strong and everything except the emergency brake works as it should. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anyplace that can be driven to. Know Issues OEM oil drip at rear main OEM oil drip from transfer case Emergency brake does not work properly. The throw length for the emergency brake levers on the Cadillac calipers is too long for the factory brake pedal. I was going to install a hydraulic brake lock, but never got around to it. It will give the new owner something to improve No key for lock on rear hatch. Hatch lock does not match door locks and ignition Doors must be locked from inside or with key Original bucket seat covers are shot. Aftermarket cloth covers well worn, but serviceable Spares A goodly number of spare parts are included. Getting all of this stuff inside the Scout for a drive home may be challenging. Axles (several) Rims (3) Distributor OEM manual locking hubs Wind shield (used) Lens covers Rear bumper mounted tire carrier Bearings Axle U-joints Drive shaft U-joints One Rancho front spring Transfer case casing Miscellaneous other stuff Questions I'm parting with this never ending project because time is getting short, the toys are many, and I do most of my off-roading now days on motorcycles. I hate letting things sit, so its time for one of you to take the baton and dress it up better than I did. Questions are welcome and encouraged. If in doubt, ask. I will provide as much information as I can. If you would like to see the Scout, plan on visiting Florence, Colorado, located 30 miles west of Pueblo and 30 miles southwest of Colorado Springs, CO. The closest major airports are Denver and Colorado Springs. Payment A $500.00US deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close by Paypal, wire, overnight certified check or money order. Balance due via wire or certified check prior to taking possession or fourteen days after auction close. Delivery Delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. I would not hesitate to drive the Scout anywhere in North America that can be reached by road, even a very poor road. I’ll cooperate as much as possible on delivery, but I travel a great deal, so plan on arranging your own pick up. Picking someone up from the Denver or Colorado Springs airports is not a problem as long as it is scheduled in advance.
