International Scout II

Post by jjbmwm5 »

I am continually purchasing the bastard children of the world cars so I sold my 56 ford pick up and needed a old truck. Sooo while helping my dad move from Leadville Colorado back east to Charolettesville, Virginia I located a real beast, a 1973 International Scout 2 with a myers plow on it so I shipped it back to Ohio. Its got a 345 with and automatic (727 torque flight). I really cant wait to mess with it alittle bit I am gonna lift it 4 inches, rebuild the tranny and and put a soft top on it for summers this will be the new merk transportation system. id like to show you all a picture but I haven't the foggiest how to.

Those are cool trucks. Would be awesome to see it towing a Merkur!
