just go my 71 Scout II, bought it out of Arizona and shipped here to the great but salty state of Hawaii. Found the website looking for info on the Scout and love all the info and advice shared! Aloha!
 
Hi,
I'm an oilfield worker in Alberta, father of 6. About 8 years ago I purchased a 1947 KB-1, which is an ongoing project but now has a SBC 327 in it. I just recently purchased a 1967 bus (Loadstar 1600 with an SV345) that I'm trying to get home so I can start working on it. It's just pure luck that the bus was an IH, I was actually contemplating trying to transplant a 7.3 diesel into it, but after some reading sounds like the SV345 is a solid engine and with a $1500 rebuild might last a long time.

Hello all,

Thought I would introduce myself. I'm Phil from Buckley Washington. Just bought a 1927 IH 1 Ton 6 Speed Special. Can't wait to learn all about this old truck. I have no idea how to even start a hand crank motor. I will do my due diligence to search for information on here for manuals and parts. Any and all help along the way would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Phil

Ffphil,
Welcome to out little slice of IH paradise.
Hope you enjoy playing with your new way back machine. There will definitely be a specific process to starting it up. The wrong one can hurt. :icon_gonk:
 
Just about finished rebuilding my wifes '53 CJ3b, so I thought Id look for the next project
I just picked up a very nice running Scout 80 4wd pickup, 1962.
Clean straight body with a full cap. Lots of rust patina, but no holes. Ill be pulling it apart and totally redoing the body. Engine and transmission runs great.
I hope I can glean some important info as I did from the Willys guys. Info I could get from any manual etc.
Looking forward to getting this started, it wont be fast though>>>

Hey folks, just purchased a '73 1210 4x4 Camper Special a few months ago. It's my first IH and it needed a little work to get it road ready, though the 392 still runs strong! It's been fun sourcing parts and working on it this summer--that's how I ended up here! I'm looking forward to putting many many miles on this truck.

Welcome! Looks like a good one. I'm jealous. Mine needs a lot more work to get to where yours is.

Welcome new members. very good looking trucks you have there. Both of you are not too far from Grass Valley. Would love to see these trucks at next months IH Sierra Fall Rallye. More info here about the event - http://ihsfr.org/

Hi Scout fans, I’m just checking in. I am rebuilding a 1969 800A. It’s pretty beat up but that’s what I’m here for. A little tlc and that is when the fun really begins.

Present and accounted for!
Just brought home a '79 Scout II, it runs but need to replace the water pump and thermostat before I can drive it a little more to figure out what needs to be replaced next. I've been reviewing a lot of threads for info, thanks for all your input. Standby for questions...
 
Hello,
I'm a new member, bought my first Binder a few weeks ago. A 1967 1/2 ton somethin' er other. 1000, 1100, 1200, heck I don't know and neither did the seller.
It's my first relic in 14 years so I'm having a blast getting back into it.
I was combing Craigslist while working in Santa Fe and the scallops and stance got me. It's got a V-8, not sure what size yet but it runs smooth with no smoke, granny four speed, and I'm not sure what ratio I have in the rear end. The discovery is part of the fun for me.
I've enjoyed combing through forum here. Thanks!
 
Hi Everyone. Jose here from Martinez. I purchased my 1963 Scout 80 about a month ago from Oregon. My plan is to restore my Scout to a near-factory look.
 
Hello all, I am new to the IH ownership fun. I am not new to auto repair, but have no experience with IH values.
I am here to determine if a 1971 1210 Travellette, 345, Holley 2bbl, 4sp, 8' bed, factory AC, rough body, one owner farm truck with 68000 miles when parked in a pasture 28 years ago, is worth bringing back to life? I have brought it home,, cleaned out the chaos and put a few days in to get all four hubs to turn freely, motor running. The brakes will need complete hardware and hydraulics, hoses replaced. The drums are rusted but salvageable, bearings seem smooth but have not pulled the hubs to inspect. The interior is amazingly intact and unmolested, but 50 years old. Overall this truck mechanically is untouched, rust-through at the windshield corners, but only surface rust on the rest. This is a long introduction so I will stop here and wait for any replies to see if pictures are desired or is this scrap.
Thank you for your time and any reply.
 
Welcome! Hell yes, pictures are always encouraged. Without them, it's impossible to give any kind of meaningful assessment, but from your description, this doesn't sound like a scrap heap. These trucks rolled off the assembly line rusty. If it isn't totally rotten everywhere, then it's worth saving. I'd suggest starting your own introductory or build thread on it under basic tech questions or something like that though.
