THIS IS A 1979 4X4 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT PICKUP TRUCK PROJECT WITH A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME ...IT DOES RUN & DRIVE. THIS HAS A 345 V-8 ENGINE THAT IS IN GOOD RUNNING SHAPE. IT DOESN'T SMOKE OR MAKE ANY UNUSUAL NOISES AND SOUNDS GREAT WITH A LOT OF POWER. IT DOES NEED THE CARBURETOR REBUILT. IT HAS GOOD RESPONSE WHEN YOU FLOOR IT BUT TO DRIVE AND IDLE RIGHT IT HAS TO HAVE THE BUTTERFLY HELD AT A CERTAIN PLACE . IT WILL EITHER STARVE FOR FUEL OR RUN RICH WITH NOT MUCH AREA IN BETWEEN. OTHER THAN THAT,I THINK THAT THE ENGINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE. ODOMETER READS 25100 MILES BUT I'M SURE IT IS OVER THAT. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS OR NOT.
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS TO HAUL FIREWOOD AROUND AND THE OCCASIONAL JOY RIDE. BUT NEVER MORE THAN 5 MILES FROM HOME. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT GREAT. THE TRANSFER CASE WILL JUMP OUT OF LOW ONCE IN A WHILE. THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED A U-JOINT SO IT IS INSIDE OF THE TRUCK WITH A NEW U-JOINT IN THE BOX TO GO ON IT.
THE BODY IS REAL STRAIGHT WITH ONLY A COUPLE VERY SMALL DENTS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MADE WITH A HAMMER. AND THE ONLY OTHER NOTICEABLE DENT IS THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT PANEL HAS A GOOD SIZE DENT THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. THE FRONT LIP OF THE HOOD HAS SMALL RUST HOLES COMING THROUGH. THE LOWER BODY HAS A COUPLE OF PATCH PANELS THAT COULD USE A LITTLE WORK."ONE NEEDS A LITTLE BONDO AND THE OTHER NEEDS THE TOP WELDED .THE BED HAS A RUBBER MAT IN IT. THE FLOOR UNDER THE MAT IS IN GOOD SOLID SHAPE. THE FRONT BED PANEL THAT GOES UNDER THE REAR WINDOW, IS NOT BOLTED IN. ALL OF THE HOLES LINE UP ,BUT THERE ARE NO BOLTS IN IT. THERE IS NO TAIL GATE.
THIS HAS A REAL NICE SET OF ALUMINUM WHEELS. THE 31" TIRES ARE ALL MISS MATCHED TREAD AND ONE OF THEM HAS A PRETTY FAST LEAK. NEEDS A TUBE.
THE SEATS ARE NICE. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID WITH NO HOLES. I THINK ALL OF THE GAUGES WORK. NO RADIO.
OTHER THINGS THAT I KNOW THIS NEEDS IS: NEEDING NEW FRONT BALL JOINTS.......BRAKES WORK BUT NOT LIKE THEY SHOULD....IT HAS CRACKED FRONT AND CRACKED REAR WINDOWS.
AS I SAID, THIS IS A PROJECT. BUT AT LEAST IT WILL RUN AND DRIVE WHILE YOU ARE WORKING ON IT. AND IS NOT A RUST BUCKET.
this is for sale locally. if there are no bids and I have a local sale, I will go with that. so if you are interested, don't wait until the last minute to bid.
