Whoa, those body panels are perfect. The reflection doesn't lie. There had to be rust at least on the lower parts of the body panels. It is a Scout. Someone did a great job on the preparation. Then all the details are well done. I tend to prefer the Scout II, but this restoration has me liking the earlier version just as much now. It is not too often we get to see these early ones looking so good. Great job. Thanks for showing it off. You have a gem.
Yes, the Scouts (and all International vehicles) were notorious for having rust issues. Bing in the NE with the harsh winters and road salt didn't help either. Glad you were able to enjoy. I have never had a Scout II but think they are super cool.
Hi Todd are you a mom and pop vintage vehicle restoration outfit? Where are you located? Do you restore first generation Broncos or old Toyota FJ40 land cruiser too? Love this Scout. I know a man who has two early 1960's scouts here in the Adirondacks of NY. What did this Scout go for?
Yes sir, I do some small batch restorations. More of a passion project than full time gig, but definitely keeps me occupied. I’m located in Indiana, near Indianapolis. 1st gen Broncos are fantastic and FJ40s are some of my all time favorite vintage 4x4s. Send me a not to my email, toddfpilcher@gmail.com. I might be interested in those scouts. This one sold on bring a trailer:bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-international-harvester-scout-800-20/ Send some photos of your Broncos and FJ40s too. Always love seeing others’ projects
Sweet 800, well done. Congrats on the sale. I’m working on finishing a scout II project myself and this video is confirmation for me to do things the right way and it’ll all pay off.
Hi Mike, thought I had responded to this. This Scout is not for sale, it actually just sold in September on Bring A Trailer. I will have other Scouts in the future. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss. toddfpilcher@gmail.com

Thanks for the support!
so well done. the Scout speaks for itself. Pure and minimalist. You did good. I have a 68.
Thank you. it was a fun build
My dad had a Scout II, but since we lived in New England, it basically disintegrated over multiple winters..fun ride while it lasted

But what engine is in this Scout?
Extremely well done! Starting a '64 Scout 80 frame off myself.
Very cool. I am a big fan of the scout 80s. Look forward to seeing yours on the forums.
Shes a beauty! Well, done! My Grandfather had one just like it. Green with a white top! Classic!
Thanks, Bill!

That’s a beauty.
Thank you, it was a fun build! Really love how it turned out
Sooooo clean
Your very proud of it! You should be!
Thanks, I am.
I own a 1961 International Harvester Scout 80 that I would sell. Very solid truck that runs, would need a few things to be roadworthy.

Beautiful Scout. May I ask what lift you have on this? 31" tires I assume?
31" tires. It is a 2" lift
I know this is a 3 year old video but where can I get the plugs for the tailgate to plug the spare tire rack holes?
What exhaust and engine does it have. I am currently working on a 1968 800.
This has a dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. Engine is a 304cid

Not a "tail gate" actually...
Are you afraid to look under the hood ?
