Custom1978 Scout Traveler SD 33 Turbo Diesel 4X4 with 4 speed manual

1978 International Harvester Scout

I have spent the last 13 years tediously collecting parts and restoring this Traveler piece by piece. All work was done professionally and I have receipts for a majority of the work as well as the instruction manual. In those 13 years I have only put about 800 miles on it going from shop to shop. All the body work has been completed and all major rust removed although there was little as it was originally a CA rig. Rear of Traveler was customized with a Scout II tailgate (similar to a Terra) and Traveler fiberglass liftgate was shortened to create a more modern SUV type setup with 3 seat bench and cargo area in the back.Other than this the exterior appearance is very close to stock. Only thing left for the new owner to do is complete the interior to their personal taste.Mechanically this rig is super solid and I am confident that it could be driven a long distance without issue.
Here are the details:
