Rare 1963 International Scout Series 80 Pickup
Here’s a photo of a rare 1963 International Scout Series 80 pickup that I recently rebuilt. IH Scouts were built from 1961 to 1980, created as a competitor to the Jeep. They could be set up as a 2-door enclosed sports utility vehicle or as a 2-door pickup.     My 4-WD version has a 4-cyl. engine and is painted bright red with a white top. I replaced the original front bumper, installed a new hydraulic pump and hoses, added new windows and roll-down door handles as well as a new windshield, installed new rubber around the doors, and added decorative bolts on the dash as well as new oil, amperage, and engine heat gauges.
    I thought the original wheels were too small and narrow so I replaced them with Ford pickup wheels that had the same bolt pattern.
    I removed the body from the frame and cleaned it, then painted it black. I installed a new fiberglass floor liner in the bed, and a new floor in the cab that he made by covering the original floor with chrome-plated, diamond plate steel. The cab has the original leather seats and the original A.M. radio, which still works.”
    My Scout was ordered with an optional hydraulic-operated 3-pt. hitch and pto shaft on front and back so it could be used as a tractor. The pto shaft is activated by pulling on a knob on the dash and can be used to operate implements such as a bush hog or wood splitter.
    He says he bought replacement parts for it from Scout Parts in Portland, Oregon (www.scoutparts.com; ph 888 288-0550).
    Carroll says he’s willing to sell his Scout for $10,000. (Wylie Carroll, 170 Arkansas Rd., Hohenwald, Tenn. 38462 ph 931 796-5048)
