I have been trolling the online forums trying to learn and read as much as I could regarding IH scouts. I love these trucks my brother has a 800 up in the pacific northwest and now I have my Scout II in the valley. I am trying to get my Scout ready for the fall to hit the trails and go wheeling.
It is a pleasure to a new member to the IH Parts America group and look forward to meeting as many members as possible.
Be goood,

Just got my first Scout project. Here are some details.
- 1968 800 with the 196 slant 4. W/ 3 spd. Runs great. Starts on first try every time.
- front axle - Dana 30 w/ 27 ends. Po had a local 4x4 shop service with new bearings and seals
- rear Dana 44 tapered axle. 3.73. Right wheel bearing is toast. I'm currently replacing both wheel bearings, races and seals to make it road ready. Pinion and carrier bearings seem fine.
Other po work - new Holley 2 bbl carburetor. (I still have original 1 bbl and oil bath filter). New brake master cylinder and brake lines, shoes and drums. It appears to be a pretty solid project that runs.
Other than some basic repairs (heater hoses, vacuum hoses for the wipers - really? In 1968?), cosmetics, and rust mitigation, it appears the suspension needs some attention. With the rear axle leveled on jack stands there's noticeable list to the passenger side. So my first project will be refreshing or replacing the springs.

Hello all!
Long time International family here. My father learned to drive on an old '46 IH pickup and I learned to drive on my fathers '75 IH pickup. My grandfather even used to sell part of the IH line in the 50's.
My wife and I picked up an old '68 Travelall in really rough shape a few years back, but sadly it's become a storage shed due to all the body work, etc. Needed to get it going.
however, we just came upon a deal from a friend that was too good to pass up on a '72 Travelall which included a '73 parts Travelall.
While searching the internet for info, we came across this site with Jeff's 1970 1-ton 4x4 Travelall build thread. We we're incredibly excited to see the thread, as it shows all the upgrades we plan to do!
The '72 was parked about 13 years ago, but was running when it was parked. Next weekend we have a pressure washer rented to get the pack rats nests, etc. Out of it, and then we can see how good/bad everything is. Currently, we're a bit afraid to sit in it!
We're going to get our 392 rebuilt, add Dana 60 axles, a nv4500 tranny, lift it, add an aluminum radiator and super swampers, plus many other things that I'm sure will come up as we go along.
My wife's going to take care of all the interior issues (floor, carpet, door panels, etc.) as well as give the truck a new paint job. I'll take care of all the mechanical issues. Once done, it should be our go anywhere rig. We can't wait to get it going! I'm sure we'll be on here often with questions, etc.
this winter we're going to try and sell off some old stuff (including some parts from all three of our Travelall's that we won't need) to bring funds in for the project and start ordering parts in hopes for starting the project in earnest this coming spring.

Greetings! I live in albuquerque nm and I have a 75 Scout II that I've done a lot of mechanical "parts replacing" on... I'm no mechanic, but I do like learning about it with this machine. I'm currently working on an aftermarket dash/ isspro gauge install and a complete re-wire using a painless 21 fuse harness. It's a long term process since I learn as I go... And I started out knowing nothing. 
if anyone has done a re-wire like this I'd love to communicate with y'all as I go along. Be well and thanks for the opportunity to greet fellow Scout-a-holics!

I found the forum while looking for information for my 1964 IH Scout 80. The Scout was my Christmas gift. It´s in general good conditions.
I will post pictures soon.
Regards.

Hello, board. I'll be here probably asking a million questions over the next few months while I start repairing/upgrading/generally rebuilding and restoring the attached truck.
I've owned it for coming up on 2 years now, I've done little with it because I had nowhere to work on it. My new workshop is currently under construction and should be complete in the next month.... Then the fun begins

Hey,
tim from washington mo here.
In the middle of 71 Scout 2 rebuild...need all the help I can get. Met you guys at the show in ohio last year.
Impressed with the amount of parts available. Mulling over IH Parts America engine rebuild for my 345. Not a bad price...and a warranty! Shipping is scary though.
Going to determine how bad I need one. But body is completely off frame, and the engine is sitting there staring at me. So easy to take out and put back in now.
Anyway saw this on your site. Looking forward to dealing with you.
Any advice on dealing with tailgate hinges?

Hi to all.
My name is Todd I live in sacramento.
I recently purchased my first International for a father son project.
Its a 1959 b120 Travelall panel.... This won't be a restro project to much redneck engineering done to it already. Found this site searching for information about it.
