Are you searching for an outstanding truck that will allow you to take part in the off-road craze before the values skyrocket up along with the Bronco, Blazer and Jeep CJ? Look no further, we at MotoeXotica Classic Cars have Scouted a vintage 4×4 vehicle that fits that criteria and this one has air conditioning for the up and coming hot weather!
This example, made at International’s Fort Wayne, Indiana factory in June 1976, was one of 41,572 Scout IIs made that year. We purchased this truck from a gentleman from Tennessee who owned the Scout for the past 10 years. The dark green paint, with a contrasting roof and white trim, is in overall very good order. This Scout’s bodywork is straight and solid, has a 6,200 gross vehicle weight rating, a 100-inch wheelbase, its engine bay is very tidy, as is its cargo area and the battery appear new.
This truck rolls Maxxis Buckshot Mudder tires, size 32×11.50R15LT at all four wheels. Each one surrounds an Ultra alloy wheel that look very attractive on this Scout. The wheels are in excellent order while the tires are in very good condition.
Under the forward-hinged hood is a professionally swapped 350 CID Chevy small block V-8 breathing via dual exhausts. The engine installation is very clean and almost looks like it came from the factory! Backing up this motor is a Chrysler A727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission with an adapter plate. Besides its two-speed transfer case, this Scout has Dana 44 front and rear axles. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering and power front disc and rear drum brakes.
Inside, the green seats are in overall very great shape, though there is a minor blemish on the driver’s front seatback. There’s a Tuffy lockable steel console between the front seats. The light green carpeting is in good, original condition while the tan headliner is in overall, excellent order. A Grant GT three-spoke steering wheel replaces the original wheel and is in fantastic order. The instrument panel has a silver gauge surround and looks fantastic while the inner door liners are in good, original shape. The horn and temp gauge are inoperable. Rounding out the interior is a JVC AM/FM stereo with a USB connection and four speakers.
International had bigger plans in store for the Scout series in 1976 because the company had eliminated its light-truck lineup. First, the company was attempting to broaden its recreational market by adding special packages for the Scout platforms. Nineteen seventy-six was an Olympic year, as well as the United States’ 200th birthday, so a U.S. Ski Team graphics package was offered along with a Spirit model. In truth, both tape treatments were identical with the specialized logos being added. Special wheels and tires rounded out the packages. Scout Rallye versions also featured tape stripes, power steering, 1-3/16-inch bore shock absorbers, chrome lug nuts and axle end plates, five 15×7 chrome slotted wheels and radial HR78 tires.
All the above packages included heavy-duty springs, shocks, and clutch assembles along with mud and snow tires. In addition, they all came with the full-length cloth tops and a rollbar. In 1976, 41,572 Scouts were produced.
Competition to this Scout in 1976 included Chevrolet’s K5 Blazer, Dodge’s Ramcharger, Ford’s Bronco, GMC’s K5 Jimmy, Jeep’s CJ-5, Plymouth’s Trailduster and Toyota’s Land Cruiser.
This is a beautiful Binder and it likely will not last long so you should stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to check it out for yourself.

About International
Let's delve into the history of International Harvester (IH), a renowned American company known for its trucks and agricultural equipment, and explore different models in a narrative way.The Foundation of International Harvester:
International Harvester, often abbreviated as IH, was established in 1902 through the merger of several smaller companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, and several others. The newly formed company aimed to become a major player in the agricultural and industrial machinery sectors.
Early Focus on Farm Equipment:
Initially, International Harvester concentrated on producing agricultural equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows. The company's Farmall tractor line, introduced in the 1920s, was a significant milestone. These tractors were versatile and affordable, playing a crucial role in revolutionizing farming practices in the United States and beyond.
International Trucks:
In the 20th century, International Harvester expanded its product offerings by venturing into the truck manufacturing business. International trucks quickly gained a reputation for their durability and reliability, making them a staple for commercial applications, from delivery vehicles to heavy-duty workhorses. The Scout, a compact SUV introduced in the 1960s, became a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.
Growth and Evolution:
International Harvester continued to grow and diversify its product range. The company produced a variety of truck models, from small pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Loadstar and the Travelall are notable examples of popular International truck models from the mid-20th century.
Challenges and Transformation:
In the 1970s, International Harvester faced financial challenges, including a downturn in the agricultural market and increased competition in the truck industry. As a response, the company underwent significant changes. It rebranded its truck division as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on truck manufacturing and engine production, while its agricultural equipment business was spun off into the Case Corporation, forming Case IH.
Legacy and Modern Times:
The International Harvester name, synonymous with rugged trucks and farm equipment, continues to live on in the hearts of many enthusiasts. International trucks are still found on the road, with a strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector. Navistar International Corporation continues to be a significant player in the truck manufacturing industry, adapting to the changing landscape with advancements in technology, environmental concerns, and customer needs.
International Harvester's history is a story of innovation and adaptability in the face of challenges, reflecting its legacy of producing reliable vehicles and equipment that have played pivotal roles in American agriculture and transportation
