This 1973 International Harvester Scout II was purchased by the seller in 2021 and was subsequently restored under current ownership. Finished in Omaha Orange over black vinyl, the truck is powered by a rebuilt 345ci V8 linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 20 two-speed transfer case. Equipment includes a high-performance air cleaner, a Holley carburetor, an aluminum radiator, manually locking front hubs, a Rough Country suspension lift, a body lift, drum brakes, 15″ steel wheels, 31″ Summit tires, an aftermarket front bumper, a removable Traveltop hardtop, a split tailgate, a cabin heater, and crank windows. This Scout II is offered at no reserve with a Washington title in the seller’s name.
The quarter panels and end caps were replaced during the build before the body was refinished in Omaha Orange with a removable matte black Traveltop hardtop. Exterior details include an aftermarket front bumper with an integrated bull bar, as well as LED headlight bulbs, a vertical-slot grille, dual side mirrors, quarter vent windows, sliding rear windows, a split tailgate, and a black-finished rear bumper. The windshield, window and door seals, and hardtop seals were recently replaced. An unopened Bestop soft top is included in the sale.
Black-finished 15″ steel wheels are mounted with 31×10.50″ Summit Trail Climber AT02 tires. The truck is equipped with power steering, manually locking front hubs, a Rough Country suspension lift, and a body lift. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums, and the front brake shoes, in addition to the rear wheel cylinders and shoes, were replaced during the restoration.
The front floor pans and rear cargo floor were replaced under current ownership, and the front bucket seats and folding rear bench were retrimmed in black vinyl with diamond-stitched inserts and orange piping that extends to the door panels. A replacement headliner and heavy-duty rubber floor covering are installed. Appointments include a cabin heater, a center console, and crank windows. The radio does not work.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 100-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 32k miles, less than 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 345ci V8 was factory rated at 197 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque and features a high-performance air cleaner, a Holley carburetor, and an aluminum radiator. The engine was rebuilt in 2023, the electrical system was repaired, and the battery, alternator, and exhaust system were replaced.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, a Dana 20 two-speed transfer case, and front and rear differentials with a 3.73:1 gear ratio. The clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing were replaced in 2024. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery.
The Washington state title carries an “Exempt” odometer status.
