1979 International Harvester Scout

This 1979 International Harvester Scout II Traveltop underwent a multi-year refurbishment that was completed in 2023, and it was purchased by the seller on BaT in March 2024. It is finished in gray with black side stripes over houndstooth cloth and black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 304ci V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck is equipped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system, an aluminum radiator, power-assisted front disc brakes, power steering, and black 15 wheels in addition to a GRC Fabrications black roll bar, Hella driving and auxiliary lights, three-point front and rear seatbelts, and a Bluetooth RetroSound stereo. This Scout II is now offered with a line-setting ticket, service records, and a clean Texas title in the sellers name.

The body was removed from the frame and refinished in gray with black side stripes during the refurbishment. A bed liner material was applied to the wheel wells and bed, and features include Holley headlights, yellow Hella driving lights, and a black GRC Fabrication roll bar with auxiliary Hella lights. A ceramic coating was applied to the paint and glass in November 2022.

The 15 alloy wheels were painted black and are mounted with 30×9.5 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires that were manufactured in 2020. The truck is equipped with power steering and power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes. The brake booster and master cylinder were replaced in October 2023 along with the front wheel bearings and Warn manually locking hubs.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in houndstooth cloth upholstery with black vinyl sides. Black carpets line the floors over a bed liner material, and appointments include three-point front and rear seatbelts, a vintage-look Bluetooth RetroSound stereo, a locking center console, and a Holley Sniper EFI touchscreen display. The blower motor was replaced in December 2023.

The three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in perforated leather and fronts a horizontal 100-mph speedometer and gauges for temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 8k miles, approximately 259 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 304ci V8 has been fitted with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system and an aluminum radiator. The valve cover gaskets, water pump, and fuel pump and sending unit were replaced in October 2023, at which time the coolant was also flushed. Two V-belts were replaced in May 2026.

Power is sent through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The transfer case gaskets and seals were replaced in October 2023, and a bed liner material was applied to the underside.

The line-setting ticket notes initial delivery to Fort Wayne, Indiana, along with factory colors and equipment. A retail order and correspondence from Custom Vehicles Inc detailing the components of the Exterior Decor Package, have also been provided in the gallery.
