1963 International Harvester Scout Scout 80

Let me preface this by stating that I've restored several Scouts to date and was looking for my next project.. then along came my son. The last owner removed the 152 engine and replaced it with a more powerful 196 from a 1967 Scout 800. Honestly the engine is probably the best part of this truck. The smaller rear Dana 27 was removed and a larger Dana 44 was put in. New carb. New fuel pump and lines. Rebuilt radiator to a 3 core from a 2. New windshield and seal. New electric wipers. New battery. LED tail lights. Custom front and rear bumpers. 3 speed and 4x4. True mileage is unknown. The driver's side instruments (speedometer and fuel gauge) are not hooked up however the center gauges (volt meter temp oil pressure) are all new and functioning. I put in a new back bench which will need to be upholstered or simply removed once. The doors close and the window work but will need some adjustments. There's some rust in the wheel wells there's a rectangle cut out of the floor (pictured). It's screaming for a fresh paint job or a wrap a door adjustment and a roll-bar. The hard top was reinforced to put a larger rack on top (pictured).Disclaimer: If you're an experienced Scout person.. You'll love this one- The only Scout I've ever owned that doesn't leak! If this is going to be your first Scout project be prepared they drive like a small tractor and are built like a wheel barrel (metal and wheels). This is not a early Bronco with a v-8 and power steering. The original bucket seats can be included. The original front and rear bumper can be included as well. Please reach out to me if you have questions. I dont want what happened to me happen to you.
