1980 International Harvester Scout II Traveler

This 1980 International Harvester Scout II Traveler was acquired by the seller in 2015, reportedly following time with previous owners in New Mexico and Texas. Subsequent work performed during the seller’s ownership has included a color change from green to white, installation of a Terra-style fiberglass hardtop, replacement of the automatic transmission with a four-speed manual gearbox, a reseal of the powertrain, and more. Power is provided by a 345ci V8 that has been fitted with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and equipment consists of a Dana 300 dual-range transfer-case, power-assisted steering and brakes, KYB shocks, powder coated steel wheels, and Turbo mufflers. This Scout II is offered with service records from 2015 onward and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.

The truck was originally finished in green and a color change to white was carried out in 2018 according to the seller. The stock Traveler top was removed in favor of a Terra-style pickup hardtop, and additional exterior features include black bumpers, a silver front grille, yellow and black “Rallye” decals along each side, and a receiver hitch.

The cab features seats trimmed in brown vinyl with matching door panels and darker brown replacement carpeting. Amenities include a tilt steering column, quarter vent windows, and a push-button radio. A crack is visible in the top of the dashboard and the seller notes that the air conditioning is inoperable due to a refrigerant leak in the system.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 85-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit odometer shows 82k miles, of which approximately 5k have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The 345ci V8 has been fitted with an Edelbrock 1406 four-barrel carburetor, and new valve cover, intake, and oil pan gaskets were installed as part of the powertrain reseal performed during current ownership. Additional service completed between 2016 and 2017 included a hot-tank cleaning of the intake manifold and replacement of the water pump and thermostat.
