This amazing 1979 International Harvester Scout II was reportedlycustom-ordered by the original owners in San Jose, California where it is saidto have stayed with the same family for most of its life. The truck wasrefinished in 4403 Yellow and 9219 White top several years ago and features aremovable hardtop with a roof rack and sliding side windows. Power comes from a345ci V8 paired with a T407 three-speed automatic transmission with auxiliarytransmission oil cooler and a two-speed transfer case. Final gear ratio in therear end of this truck is a 3.73. Work in preparation for the sale included atune up, brake service, carburetor service, and more. This Scout II is offeredwith manufacturer’s literature, 1979 original sales invoice, Line settingticket, service/repair records from Anything Scout, Original manual, stockwheels, towing adapter, and a clean NC title in the seller’s name with NCDMV documentationshowing that mileage is in fact true and accurate. The truck is said to have been repainted in its current yellowand white top in the last several years. There are noted spots in the side trimwith small dents and the rubber strips are missing. The white top featuressliding side windows, a roof rack, and a rear window hatch in very good shapewith all hardware intact. There are no notable rock chips in the glass, thevent windows and seals are in great shape and the glass overall appears niceand clear. Additional equipment includes low profile mirrors and a 2” receiverhitch. This beauty sports stock steel wheels wearing aluminum caps and Hankook 235/75-15Optimo H724 tires. They are mounted overfront disc and rear drum brakes recently serviced. Front axles havemanually-locking Warn front hubs, nice functioning inner and outer wheelbearings, brake master cylinder, and nice brake lines. The interior features nicely recovered tan and brown plaidseats with brown vinyl sides and tan piping. Black seatbelts and lap belts contrast the matching brown door panels,while the floors were repainted in a fresh yellow along with the bed sides. Anoriginal center console with cupholders sits between the front seats and a nicematching spare tire cover completes this beautiful interior with perfect hardtop interior panels. An updated singleDIN stereo system with aftermarket speakers complete the modernized soundsystem. Stock instrumentation in a turned metal-style strip includesa five-digit odometer reading approximately 54k miles, which is documented bythe NCDMV and 100% accurate. The fuel gauge, horn relay, instrument bulbs, andglovebox liner all are functional. Theunder-dash air conditioner was not ordered on this truck and has not been addedalthough Niche Motorsports can add either vintage air or a stock style AC tothe truck. The 345ci V8 features a single carburetor and retains a smogpump. The seller states the valve cover and oil pan gaskets are all in goodshape and this truck is currently not leaking any fluids more than one or twodrops per week. The power steeringsystem was topped off and runs nicely with a fully functional and correct steeringgearbox without steering play however the truck does float across the lane asthese trucks often do. A three-speed 727 automatic transmission and a two-speedtransfer case route power to the rear or all four wheels. A transmissionservice was not performed at Niche but the transmission shifts in Reversesmoothly and glides through each of the three gears flawlessly. The truck presents beautifully underneathwith full evidence of all original metal floors. The exhaust is fully intact and does not leak,and the muffler and tailpipe also present themselves very well.
