Unfortunately Scouts are known for being rust buckets, especiall the rocker panels and body mounts.
I still remember though being a small kid in Fabens Tx and seeing the 79 or 80 model Scout on the sales floor of our local IH dealership before IH broke up the divisions and sold them off.
@DaHackman1 2-1/2 or three years from now a new company will be building vehicles which are about the size of the old 2-door Wrangler Unlimited. They will be called the Scout Series III, SS-III, Traveler and Terra pickup.
The IH vehicles (Travelall, pickup, Scout, etc.) suffered from severe rust problems. Our family had a '74 Travelall, and it started rusting within two years. The tailgate was rusted completely through by '77! But the engines ran great! They finally came out with this rust-through warranty in '79 or '80, but by then it was too late. They already had a bad reputation. I wish International still made consumer vehicles.
@benspilk900 LOL! IHC designed their gas motors off diesel blueprints. They are built to go 500,000 miles before needing to be rebuilt. direct gear to gear cam timing, thick bore spacing, high nickel alloy block/cylinder head/intake castings, all forged internals, HUGE bearing journals, high volume oiling, need I say more? 100% pure industrial duty engines. IH always had high mile/long term warranties on their trucks. also IH galvanized the 1980's sheetmetal which allowed extended warranty.
