1974 SCOUT II 392 V8

1974 International Harvester Scout Additional Info:

I am selling due to getting into head on collision, that was 0% my fault, in my leased daily driver that was totaled 9/7/19. I have 2 5sm disc bulge in my neck, 5cm disc tear in my L5-S1 a knee contusion and am having my Right leg Amputated Dec 6th (transtibial Amputation) due to the accident. I have no other vehicle and It's the only reason I'm fire selling it. I'm even willing to consider a trade for an Extra Cab, Crew Cab, Diesel Pickup Truck of. I'm in such a situation that If you're not interested in the truck but are a philanthropic giving person and want to help I am going to set up some sort of a donation page (never done one so I have to learn hoe & where before I provide the details here) but god bless anything that will help me get through this challenge will be humbly accepted and truly heart felt and appreciated. I have no problem providing proof of the above due to so much fraud in our world either, just email me.
Unfortunately my financial situation dictates I have to sell this awesome toy I just bought to get by during my lawsuit and treatment. Great condition, Brand new $250 bimini Top not on truck that Ill throw in at zero cost, cause the same was done for me. On the truck in these pics is the old one. I will accept ZELLE & VENMO as well. Has rebuilt International 392 V8 with rebuilt trans done about a year ago by previous owner.I am selling due to getting into head on collision, that was 0% my fault, in my daily driver.

ENGINE- Previous owner rebuilt an International 392 and installed it, looks great, runs great, always starts right up. Runs cool and no leaks. Has a Schneider off-road cam, Edelbrock 750 cfm carb with manual choke. Truck has headers installed and recently installed dual exhaust system. New gas tank and sender, but after market gas gaugedoesn'twork, new identical fuel gaugeincluded but I haven'tinstalled it yet. Engine oil pressure gaugehad a plastic line from block but i removed the line dueto how close it was to the headers. Ordered the brass oil line for the gauge, but haven'tinstalled it yet. Water temp & gaugework great. Amp meter works great. Truck sounds like a beast and has a lot of torque!TRANSMISSION- The previous owner less than one year ago had the Torquflite 727 rebuilt, works great (have original receipts for work done), just needs the card kick down linkage installed so you can adjust the shift points. Speedometer cable needs the $20 adapter for the after market gauge which previous owner installed. Trans oil is tight and shifts great.
BODY- Body has a few small dings here and there, minor dent in the left lower rocker which could be pulled out, but is not very noticeable. Minor rust in lower left windshield pillar. Frame connector under front bumper has a little rust and can be easily cut out and a new piece of steel welded in. Rest of the frame looks good. Floor pans are solid. Truck has no hardtop or doors, just the Brand New Bimini Top. Seats need to be recovered, I just stitched some seat covers on them together until I could save up to replace them. Previous owner added the mirrors to the windshield frame. After-Market SS Style Grille which is not easy to find anymore. After market front and rear welded pipe bumpers for SS style.
RUNNING GEAR- Dana 44 axles are good, not sure the ratio. The 4x4 system is intact and the hubs lock, transfer case shifts, but I only drive it in 4x4 mode to grease the hubs otherwise I don't. Previous owner within the last year re[placed the front brake calipers, pads, and master cylinder brakes work ok but lack a little bite, needs a new brake booster. After Market black powder coated black wheels which look good. Truck has about a four inch body lift installed by previous owner.
ELECTRICAL- Headlights, turn signals and brake lights all work fine. Running lights are currently out. No stereo installed, most of the truck appears to have been rewired with a new kit. Its not a show vehicle, just a beach cruiser around town and it turns heads everywhere I've gone.
The VIN Tag shows it was built in Chicago and I did enter that VIN correctly.
