I loved every Scout I ever owned (total of 5: a slant 4, a straight 6, and 3 v-8's). The issue was that they each slowly evaporated into giant missing areas around all the great mechanicals. Rustproofing was just not effective here ...

Lil tip from an ex tow / repo guy. I have seen you struggle since the beginning with loading vehicles that either dont have rolling wheels or have flat tires. I am hesitant to give internet advice, but I hate to see the struggle! The #1 thing that would help you a ton with the winching would be a snatch block! It is fairly easy to weld a few D rings onto the trailer so you have a few points to hook to, and then use the snatch block from those hook points to change the pulling direction of the cable. If nothing else, you can hook it back to itself to double your pulling power. #2 They do make a fairly cheap plastic skate for this exact occasion. The skates slide under the wheel that wont move and allows it to slide easily across almost any surface. Too many ways these things can be used, but will struggle a bit more with flat tires. On the cheap, cheap... you could make your own skates if you have some spare 4x4 lumber laying around. Cut yourself a couple pieces at about 16 inches long, and toss them in the truck. Once you get the wheels that wont spin or turn up to the deck of the trailer, slide them chunks of 4x4 under the wheel at a 45 degree angle, so the wheel will not roll over it, and I promise you, the vehicle will slide the direction you want it to go on that wooden deck of your trailer... Works even better on steel decks. I hope this will help you in the future. Thanks for everything you do, Puddin! :)

International offered the Scout with a variety of engines over its years of production. The Scout 80 used the gasoline-powered "152" four-cylinder as its standard engine. The 800, 800A, and 800B used the gasoline-powered "196" four-cylinder, AMC "232", "266" six-cylinder, "266" V8, and "304"V8. With the exception of the four-cylinder engines, most of these engines were shared with the International Light Line pick-up trucks and the International Travelall station wagon. A turbocharged version of the "152" four-cylinder engine was offered from 1965 to 1967. The Scout II had the following engine options: the 196 cu in (3.2 L) 4-cylinder, 232 cu in (3.8 L) 6-cylinder (early production), 258 cu in (4.2 L) 6-cylinder (later production), 304 cu in (5.0 L) V8, and 345 cu in (5.7 L) V8. International never installed a 392 cu in (6.4 L) V8 or an AMC V8 engine into a Scout. At the time, International did not manufacture a diesel engine small enough to be used in the Scout, and so starting in 1976 offered the naturally aspirated Nissan SD33 diesel engine as an option. This engine was replaced by the turbocharged SD33T engine in late 1979 for the 1980 model year.[8] List of engines IH 4-152 IH 4-196 IH SV-266 IH SV-304 (not to be confused with the AMC 304 V8) IH SV-345 IH SV-392 AMC 6-232 AMC 6-258 Nissan SD33 Nissan SD33T

And the 196 four cylinder was built on the 304ci or 345 ci 8 cylinder block. One side was blanked off with a flat sheet metal pan where the other head would go giving you a slant 4. My 1976 Scout had that engine

Finally, the best truck IH ever made on PFS, I am here for it. That one does not look bad at all as far as Scouts go, they usually rust up really bad on the floors and rockers. I think that is the AMC straight 6, which went in a few early Scout IIs. I think they are pretty rare, I go to a lot of IH events in my Scout and I have never seen one in person, most of them have either the 4 cyl Commanche, the 345 or 392 V-8, and a few with the SD-33T Nissan Diesel like mine.

[@rockin86ranger]

My dad had a scout for a hunting rig when he was younger. Said they would run over anything in the way to get to their stand or kill. If there was a tree in the way they couldn’t run over he said they would climb up it hook a winch on it and would normally pull the tree down but a couple of times it pulled the scout up the tree lol. Said there was couple of times they had all four wheels off the ground just to see if it would do it. I don’t think it was roadworthy so they didn’t care about it.

Finally let it set for 3 or 4 years then sold as is. Charged battery and it started right up and the new owner spun the tires as he left the driveway with 144,000 miles on it. Thanks for all your effort on saving this one.

Hey Puddin. I've restored a fee cars and had to remove the hoods amd truck lids from countless. One easy way I've found to line the hinges up is to drill a small hole through the hinge and inside layer of hood or deck lid. When you go to install the hood just use the same size bit to stick in the holes to line the hinges back uo where they originally were. I've used a sharpie before but I have bad luck amd the sharpie always either gets rubbed off or I forget amd sand it off when painting the good. This also works for some door hinges. Just us a small bit amd the hole will never be noticeable. Just thought I would share rhat with you. But then you probably don't have the time to read all the comments you get. Keep up the great entertainment.
