Something 345 in it and I am quickly becoming addicted because it's a whole new world that I didn't even realize I was missing I was directed here through th google hahaha but I can tell it's a great group of folks in the IH world and def on this board thanks for having me!!!
 
Hey folks,
found this forum through google.

I've got a 1968 1200c 4x4 automatic transmission
304 engine. Body pretty good, a little rust, worst being up under the glove box.
Needs some work, engine is blowing oil out of the dipstick tube.
Starts and runs good.
Happy to have found y'all!
Whitaker

Hi josh, welcome. I have a 345. You're gonna love it. Your wallet won't when you hit the pump, but it is so worth it. :)
 
Scott here from paradise valley alberta. I just brought a 1980 Scout. It has a 345 engine, 727 trans, 300 t-case, 44's with 3.31 in them. It is a 100% wreck, rust is bad! Plus ever plan is dented. My plan is to remove the body & install a 1950 l-110 IH body on to it. I know, wrecking a Scout. But its was going to the junk pile, so this will keep it alive. Been an ihc fan for awhile, g/f has had ihc products since he got back from ww2. We still have a truck & tractor that he got in 52,53. Here is a pic of the Scout.

Also got LST from local IH truck dealership. Partsman emailed it to me, but I cant figure out how to post an email.

Welcome newbie! That's a real testimony to the IH build. 10+ yrs and that easily started. Let us know what all u end up doing with it. It keeps us motivated :)
 
Welcome wagonwheel.

I am pretty partial to the round body t-alls.

From the pictures it appears as if the important and hard to find stuff is still all there.

Be very careful of the rear side glass--good rear side glass is getting pretty hard to find=$$$.

Good luck.

Hi my name's peter I live in new hampshire I dont own a International yet but have always liked the way they look oh and bye the way ipw stands for International powerwagon.
 
Hello..... In Colorado here, happened to find this site from doing general reseach....

76 II xlc 345 manual... Looking forward to learning all that I can...
 
Alan in tulsa, ok. I've been a fan of internationals probably 'cause my Dad was/is. He won't let his dead ones go for anything. Just bought a Scout II, I have named scoutie. Wanted to find out what to do with it. So google led me here. Have read many post already with great interest. Amazed at the parts available for them. Looking forward to coming back often.
 
Welcome aboard alan! You joined a good bunch here. Now get to wrenching and bring that 72 back to life! You won't regret it.
 
Hi all! I was searching for more options for parts on my first Scout project and found IH parts. Great to see so many with the same obsession. Im from valdosta georgia and yes, we all sound like doc holiday in tombstone. Happy scouting! :devil:
 
Like a lays potato chip (remember those ads) no one can eat just one. . .no one can live with just one Scout . picked up another Scout for parts.:icon_lol: working away to get drivable.
 
Greetings from Arizona! Newbie here. I picked up a 1979 IH Scout II last month in phoenix. I love the truck, but need to get kicking on some tlc. I haven't really been around scouts too much since I was a kid and my grandfather had a couple. But I figured what better time than now? I will be in touch here, especially when the temperatures aren't in the triple digits here!
I've already started asking questions on the forum and I appreciate the insights and advice already. Much thanks! Time to start sinking the $$$ into her!
