This 1979 International Harvester Scout II was refinished in Sunburst Yellow with a white removable hardtop and Rallye-style graphics. Additional work included refreshing the interior with green cloth and vinyl upholstery, installing 15″ Rallye wheels with 31″ tires, and replacing the carpets, headliner, weatherstripping, windshield, and seals. The truck is powered by a 345ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Features include locking front hubs, an AM/FM stereo, and power steering.
The 15″ Rallye wheels were installed under current ownership and wear 31×10.5″ Goodyear Wrangler tires. Work completed since the seller’s purchase is said to have included replacing the shocks, parking brake cable, and the rear brake drums.
The seats have been reupholstered in green vinyl with patterned tweed cloth seating surfaces to match the original interior scheme Scouts had in this era. The refurbishment also included installing sound dampening material on the roof and floor, installing aftermarket speakers in the door panels, and replacing the headliner, rearview mirror, and carpets.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 100-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, the alternator, and fuel level. An under-dash gauge pod was installed during previous ownership and the five-digit odometer shows just over 15k miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 345ci V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor and red valve covers. Work completed during the refurbishment is said to have included carburetor and distributor rebuilds, the removal of the catalytic converter and smog pump, and the replacement of the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, exhaust system, radiator, belts, hoses, spark plugs, and wires.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
