For those seeking a ready alternative to Willys Jeep CJ models, the natural alternative was InternationalHarvesters Scout. Built at Internationals Fort Wayne, Indiana factory, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1965 InternationalHarvester Scout 80 4x4.

The trucks blue paint and white trim are in overall very good condition. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is in good, original condition, the black bumpers are in good, original shape and the battery looks very good. The cargo area could use some TLC, however and the drivers sideview mirror is chipped. LED taillights replace the factory units.

Under the hood is Internationals 152 CID Comanche fourcylinder motor, backed by a threespeed manual transmission that routes allwheel drive power to the wheels via a Spicer 18 case and a pair of Spicer axles. Both front and rear differentials were offset to the passenger side for the purpose of lining up the driveshafts with the transfer case. Only fourcylinder engines were offered in the Scout 80. The 152 CID engines were overheadvalve slantfour powerplants derived from the 304 V8 engine and designated the 4152 Comanche. The threespeed manual transmission was the Borg Warner T14 in the 4WD Scouts and the ironcase, geardrive transfer case was a Spicer 18 (2.46:1 low range) with offset rear output.

This Scout rolls on Cooper Discoverer ATP tires, size 265/75R16 tires, each one mounted on a vented, alloy wheel. The tires and wheels are all in very good order.

Inside, the black bench seat are in very good shape, while the metal headliner is in good, original order. The Scouts interior is decidedly spartan, mirroring a time when the design focus was utility and reliability. The fourspoke steering wheel is in good, original order, while the inner door liners and metal instrument panel are all in very good condition.

The original Scout was the Model 80 which sat on a 100inch wheelbase. It was brought to market in 1961 in both 4x2 and 4x4 models, with the 4WD versions more popular. IH produced a tick over 100,000 units during the Model 80s fiveyear lifespan.

The short wheelbase SUV sat on a ladderframe similar to the trucks of the day. The Scout 80 had a payload rating of 800 pounds and used a leafspring suspension with straight axles, as was common. The front 4WD axle was a closedknuckle Spicer 27 or 27A. The rear axle could be a Spicer 27 or a Spicer 44 (starting in 1962). PowrLok limitedslip units were also optional. Factory standard axle ratio was 4.27:1, but for some years, 3.73:1 and 4.88:1 ratios were optional. Manual steering was via a Ross steering box and linkage and drum brakes sat at all four corners.
