About the Scout II:
The International Harvester Scout is an off-road vehicle from 1961
to 1980. A precursor of more sophisticated SUVs to come, it was
created as a competitor to the Jeep, and it initially featured a
fold-down windshield. The Scout and second-generation Scout II were
produced in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as two-door trucks with a
removable hard top with options of a full-length roof, half-cab
pickup, and/or soft top.
Scout IIs were manufactured from April 1971 to 1980. The design was
finalized much earlier, with a version nearly identical to the
production model shown to management during December 1967.
The Scout II is most identifiable by its different front grilles.
The 1971-1972 Scout IIs shared the same grille, three horizontal
bars between the headlights and chrome rings around the headlights.
The 1973 Scout IIs had 14 vertical bars between the headlights, a
split in the middle, seven bars on each side surrounded by chrome
trim pieces and an "International" model plate low on the left
side. The 1974-75 Scout II grilles were the same as 1973, with the
addition of a vertical bar trim overlay. The 1975 had chrome and
black, square trim rings around the headlights; 1976 had the same
headlight trim rings as 1975, and a chrome center grille of 15
horizontal bars split into three sections was used in this year
only. The 1977-79 Scout IIs used the same grille between the same
headlight bezels the new chrome grille had two large horizontal
bars with three vertical support lines and the "International"
nameplate moved up to the center of the grille on the left
side.
Scout II's could be ordered with the Traveltop, which was the full
metal top, Roadster which was a half-cab variant seldom seen, or
with a soft top.
In 1980, the final year of production for the Scout, the grille was
a very distinctive design, available with black or silver, a
one-piece grille with square headlights, made of Acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. Both grille color options had
imprinted chrome trim around the headlights and an "International"
name mark located on the left side. Starting with late 1974 Scout
IIs, disc and power brakes were standard features. Early 1974
models had disc brakes as a rarely selected option. Very few
1971-1979 Scout II's were ordered in RWD-only configuration, most
were 4WD.
The last IH Scout was produced on October 21, 1980.
When an IH vehicle was ordered, a factory plan or construction
sheet was created (when the order was sent to the factory) with the
new vehicle's VIN or ID number, and all the codes for standard
equipment and options that the salesman used to create this vehicle
for his customer or inventory. This sheet was used to assemble the
vehicle from beginning to finish. After the factory assembled the
vehicle and the vehicle was shipped and sold, the line [setting]
ticket identified such things as the engine type, transmission
type, drive line, paint codes, gear ratio, and standard and
optional equipment specific to that vehicle. Different parts were
used on the same model in the same year. A very small copy of the
line ticket was attached to each vehicle during the building
process at the factory. The location of the ticket varied:
1971-1976 Scout IIs had their copies mounted under their hoods,
attached to the cowl cover panels. The 1977-1980 Scout IIs had
their copies on the inside of the glove box doors, and 1969-1975
pickups and Travelalls had them attached to the back of the glove
boxes; depressing the keeper tabs on each side of the box lets the
box swing down to reveal the ticket. If lost, line tickets can be
ordered through several Scout parts specialists, due to their
diligence in maintaining these valuable resources.
