International Harvester has been building trucks and pickups since the early 1900s. They introduced the Scout in the 1950s as competition to the bona fide American pickup, the Jeep CJ. Even though it was not as widely acclaimed as its competitor, the Scout 800 was a very capable off-roader with a host of features suited for various work conditions. We at Exotic Car Trader have on offer a tastefully resto-modded 1966 International Harvester Scout 800, which has traveled only 1500 miles since being refreshed.
Exterior and Interior
The Scout has a utilitarian design with boxy lines. It fits in with existing offroaders while looking a bit more sophisticated due to the shapely rounded corners. This example is fitted with an aftermarket bull bar along with an aftermarket rear metal bumper with inbuilt LED lights. This Scout is finished in a Chalk Grey and Satin Black paint job. All chrome pieces have been blacked out, in line with the retro modern styling. This pickup rides on 20-inch ID alloy wheels wrapped in 33-inch NITTO Ridge Grapplers, which are combined with the Afco coilover suspension to give this scout a proper off-roader stance along with the ability to cross any terrain. Hiding behind the alloy wheels is a set of aftermarket Wilwood disc brakes. The interior is given the same treatment as the exterior, with modern touches everywhere. The red leather pops against the grey color-matched dashboard. The upgraded bucket seats, along with the center armrest, provide supreme comfort as you travel through the countryside. The trim on the interior has also been given a healthy coating of black. The audio has been upgraded with a Rockford Fosgate head unit and Morel HiFi speakers on the doors. The roll cage, too, has been upgraded with thicker bars to improve rollover protection for the passengers. The Forever Sharp wood trim steering wheel and vintage digital gauges complete the interior.
Engine
Under the hood of this International Harvester Scout 800, you will not find an engine from the 60s but rather a modern Chevrolet small block V8 crate engine with electronic fuel injection. The engine bay is kept clean, with just the engine and the massive Wilwood master cylinder in view. This powerhouse is mated to an automatic gearbox with upgraded differentials front and back. With all the modern underpinnings, you can drive this truck with peace of mind and trust it will not leave you stranded.
International Harvester, more commonly known for their industrial and agricultural vehicles, did produce an off-roader to rival the Jeep CJ between 1960 and 1980. It was called the Scout, and was available as a two-door SUV or two-door pickup truck. This red 1962 International Harvester Scout 80 from Beckley, West Virginia, is of the latter body style. With 46,241 miles on the clock and a 152ci four-cylinder under the hood, it’s representative of what a Sixties off-road capable pickup truck was like back then. It’s got a Warner T-90A 3-speed manual box, and even packs a Ramsey 8,000-pound PTO winch for recovery activities. If you’d like to own this quirky American classic, get in touch right now.

International Harvester has a rich history when it comes to producing off-roaders. The company began building trucks in 1907 and became more people-oriented during the 50s. Much like nearly every other off-road vehicle manufacturer of the time, International Harvester wanted a vehicle that could trade blows with the infamous Jeep CJ, and so the Scout was born. The Scout too, came much later, and the model you see here is the ever more rare soft-top variant. From its looks, you can tell that this 1973 International Harvester Scout has come a long way since it rolled out of the factory, but all the better, as it now represents modern styling with a mix of classic American ruggedness. With 90,000 miles on its odometer, this restored Scout II drives strong and is awaiting new ownership.
The 1937 International Harvester C-30 represents a time when trucks were engineered with a singular focus—getting the job done. Built as a heavy-duty commercial platform, the C-30 was designed for farmers, contractors, and industrial users who needed durability above all else. This particular example stands out thanks to its restoration and functional upgrades, including a hydraulic dump bed that significantly enhances its usability. Showing 40,906 miles, it blends pre-war industrial charm with practical capability, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone seeking a vintage truck that still serves a real purpose today.

International Harvester, as the name suggests, was a maker of industrial and agricultural vehicles. The brand is long gone, as it is now a part of Navistar Corporation. But did you know that International Harvester also made passenger vehicles? Examples like the Scout, which was an off-roader made between 1961 and 1980. Well, wonder no more, because you can grab this 1979 International Harvester Scout II from Spring, Texas, and see what it’s like. The vehicle has done just 375 miles after a comprehensive makeover and comes with some upgrades too. For example, there’s a custom paint job, a reupholstered interior, an aftermarket audio player and more to enjoy. All that is move along by a stout 345ci V8!
