International Scout II Car Restoration

By John Truman, September 13, 2010 11:39 am

The 1973 International Harvestor Scout II Was bought about a year ago on July 29, 2008. Weve been working on it all winter and it recieved 4 inches of lift on the springs, and another 3 on the body. The original 304 V8 engine was kept, but we traded out the automatic trans for a 4 speed manual. Runs and drives great. Running 3.07 differentials in the front and rear, the rear has lockers. Dual straight exhaust running out the back, some minor wiring details behind the dash need to be finished yet before its complete. Ive put alot of time and work into this, hope you guys enjoy... feel free the ask questions on the specs !

    This is awesome. My dad and I bought a 72 Scout II for $100. It looks like $100 but it runs surprisingly. How much did this project cost all together? Your truck looks great.

    I'm thinking of restoring a Scout 80 or 800. I want to use a Toyota 22RE engine and W58 5-speed transmission if I do. I hope I can get these Toyota parts installed with little trouble.

    Wow great job. Ive been working on my 75 for three years and it still needs paint. Good work on the body. Great truck! Scout leads the way!

    Um you shouldnt have to do any fabricating whatsoever... im sure if you had added a transfer case, (should just attach to the end of your trans) and put a dana 44 axle up in front and find a driveshaft.

  14. wkd209 says:

    how hard would it be to make two wheel drive 74 scout to a 4x4?what would i have to do in fabricating wise or would i have to fabricte?

  15. exodus76086 says:
