This 1965 International Harvester Scout 80 was first delivered to Scott Truck of Monroe, Louisiana and is said to have sat for several years before the seller acquired the truck from a dealer in January 2021. The vehicle was subsequently refinished in blue, replacement seats were installed, the fuel system was refurbished, and the battery was replaced. Power comes from a replacement 152ci inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a white removable short-cab hardtop, a four-point roll bar, a Spicer-Dana 44 rear end, manually locking front hubs, and an aluminum radiator. This Scout is offered with replacement clutch cylinders, a copy of the line-setting ticket and an emergency jack.
Features include a white removable short-cab hardtop, a fold-down windshield, a four-point roll bar, silver-finished bumpers, and a single exhaust outlet. The seller indicates that the truck retains some PTO-driven winch components and indicates that the front frame rails were extended to aLommodate the winch that is no longer present. Cracking is noted on the windshield seal, and an indentation is present on the front bumper.
Steel wheels wearing chrome covers are mounted on mismatched tires that the seller explains should be replaced. Manually locking hubs are fitted up front, and the seller notes that the suspension features longer shackles than the stock components.
Aftermarket black bucket seats are said to have been installed under current ownership. The interior features a black textured finish on the floors, a twin-stick transfer case, and a locking glove compartment.
A color-matching steering wheel exhibits cracking and fronts a white-painted steel dash that houses an 80-mph speedometer and a combination gauge measuring coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer indicates 87k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The replacement 152ci inline-four breathes through a single carburetor and was factory rated to make 93 horsepower and 135 lb-ft of torque. An aluminum three-core radiator and a replacement battery both are said to have been installed in 2021. Other work performed by the seller reportedly included replacement of fuel hoses, removal and cleaning of the fuel tank, and installation of an electric fuel pump that is triggered by a dash-mounted toggle switch.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed manual transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and a Dana 27 front axle and an upgraded Spicer-Dana 44 rear end.
