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.
