This International Harvester Scout got away, but there are more like it here.

1969 International Harvester Scout 800A Aristocrat

Sold for $50,250 on 10/17/22

This 1969 International Harvester Scout 800A Aristocrat was acquired by the seller in 2014 and subsequently refurbished including a repaint, an interior refresh, a front disc brake conversion, and installation of a Crawler Proven Technology lift kit with Bilstein shocks. The truck is finished in two-tone silver and metallic blue with a removable hardtop over blue vinyl upholstery and powered by a 304ci V8 linked to a replacement three-speed manual transmission as well as a dual-range transfer case and a limited-slip rear axle. Additional equipment includes 15″ steel wheels, a roof rack, a retro-style head unit, and a Holley carburetor. Recent work included resealing the transmission and transfer case as well as replacing the transmission input shaft seal. This Scout 800A is offered with a copy of the line setting ticket, a service manual, the removed radio and carburetor, and an Ohio title in the seller’s name listing the truck as a 1971 model.

The body and hardtop are said to have been repainted in the current silver and metallic blue paint scheme under current ownership. Additional work included rechroming portions of the roof rack as well as replacing the bumpers, door seals, the windshield glass and seal, and the taillight, turn signal, and reverse light lenses. The passenger-side mirror is loose and the latches are missing on the rear sliding windows, which are said to rattle. The seller notes an area of chipped paint on the hardtop, scratches on the hood and front fender, and an area of missing paint where the hardtop meets the bed on the driver’s side.

Five-bolt 15″ steel wheels are wrapped with 31×10.5″ Goodyear Wrangler tires, and a matching spare is mounted to the tailgate out back. The truck is equipped with a suspension lift kit featuring Bilstein shocks as well as replacement drag link and tie rod from Crawler Proven Technology. Work under current ownership reportedly included a front disc-brake conversion, as well as replacing the primary brake cylinder, brake lines, and the rear brake shoes and cylinders. Corrosion is noted on the wheels and within the wheel wells.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in blue vinyl. The seller states that the seats and dash pad were reupholstered under current ownership along with replacing the front floor pans and repainting the seat frames and dashboard. Additional equipment includes a Bluetooth-capable retro-style head unit and a heater. A tear is visible on the driver’s sun visor, the horn is inoperative, the windows do not wind all the way up, and there are no keys for the doors.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, engine temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 52k miles, approximately 1k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 304ci V8 is equipped with a Holley two-barrel carburetor. Work under current ownership reportedly included repainting the engine and replacing the front and rear main seals as well as the fuel selector valve, fuel lines, fuel sending units, cooling hoses, battery cables, battery, heater fan motor, and exhaust components. Corrosion is visible on the sidewall of the engine bay.

Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels via a Borg-Warner T90 three-speed manual transmission and a Dana 20 dual-range transfer case. A Dana 30 axle is fitted up front, and a Dana 44 axle with a Powr-Lok limited-slip differential is equipped out back. Service in 2015 included repairing the clutch linkage, installing a replacement transmission and driveshafts, and resealing the transmission and transfer case, while drivetrain work in 2016 consisted of resurfacing the flywheel. The transmission input shaft seal was replaced, the clutch cable was adjusted, and the transmission and transfer case were resealed in 2022.

A copy of the line setting ticket shows initial delivery to Billings, Montana, as well as factory installed equipment.

A service manual as well as the removed radio and carburetor will accompany the truck.
