1969 International Harvester Scout 4X4 Pickup Truck with 6 foot Hydrolic Snow Plow The best way to describe this vehicle is "Rough and Ready". I bought the Scout in the early 80's and restored it with a station wagon top for my everyday car. I drove it less than ten years and retired it with parts stored in it. One day I saw an ad in a swapper magizine for a complete snow plow made to fit just the Scout. Since I now live in a home with a mile long driveway, I bought the plow and got the Scout out of retirement. I located a hard to find pickup style cap, painted the truck and pressed it into service. All that amounted to was plowing the drive whenever it snowed and taking the trash down once a week. A buddy gave me a Dodge pickup last year and another guy sold me a plow for it. I was going to keep the Scout around just for sentimental reasons and call it "yard art," but I think it would be better if it kept working for someone else. The old Scouts have quite a following and parts are still available for them. There are very few miles on the original motor (about 50 K) and it is exceptionally strong and powerful. It has a ton of torque and with the 3 speed manual trans and high and low range and the posi-traction rear with four wheel drive it plowed through every storm we have had in the last 25 years. I put a new clutch in it a few years back, but it must still be like new because the truck never went anywhere. Although the Scout is a great working vihicle, it does have some rust issues. The driver's floor is the worst rust problem. They need some suring up. The rest of the rust isn't a problem if it just continues use as a farm truck. The bed is solid. Most everything on the truck works ok. The hydrolic plow is real good. It articulates manually. The tires are good. The lights and stereo work and I guess that's about it. The bottom line. The Scout is mechanically sound and strong. It burns no oil and leaks nothing except some gas if the tank is overfilled. With some attention to the rusty floor, it will continue to work for many years to come. If however, you wanted to put it back on the road, it would take some TLC (work).

The rust is not as bad as I thought in the rest of the truck, i.e. the passenger floor is not too bad. Some rust around the bolts but bracing and most of the sheet metal is still good. I put in some angle braces to support a piece of plywood and remounted the seat for a temporary fix. The pictures of all rust are the floor pans of the passenger side from under the truck. The drivers door is rusty and weak around the hinges which makes it hard to close. I added some repeat shots with better angles and lighting on the overall body. The bed supports are all still there. The rust in the bed is in the corners of the sheet metal. The angle iron on top and bottom with the wood, makes the bed solid and usable. The frame and crossmembers along with the cab and bed supports/mounts are all solid on the Scout. The engine, I believe, is the 192 four cylinder. Since I have been working on the Scout to get it running, the starter has been acting up. It's working but is starting to disingauge before the engine starts. I also remembered that some of the original wiring to the lights is misrouted thanks to a friends help putting the plow lights on the roof. Thanks for your interest.
