Vehicle Description
This 1972 International Scout II was in Mexico in 2021 and returned
to the U.S., where it underwent a complete restoration with several
custom touches, including the "mariachi horn" from its previous
life and a custom serape-trimmed dash that completes the homage.
Power comes from a 345ci International V8 engine, now with a Holley
Sniper EFI system. It's also equipped with custom handmade
stainless-steel headers and exhaust, along with a K&N filter
and breather. The engine stays cool with an aluminum radiator and a
replacement fan shroud for the factory mechanical fan. The entire
wiring harness has been replaced with modern wiring and upgraded
battery terminals, and an Optima Yellowtop battery was installed.
The truck has been lifted on a custom-fabricated suspension setup
using Rancho RS9000 remote-reservoir shocks, along with Dana 44
front and rear axles and knobby off-road tires. Stopping is
provided by front disc and rear drum brakes fed fluid from a
Wilwood-style master cylinder and booster. The exterior features a
Broadway mirror that allows visibility around the truck, side
mirrors from Billet Specialties and a Warn winch. Inside there are
custom-trimmed front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, custom bikini
cover, tonneau cover and an added center console. The original
steering wheel and B&M shifter were retained from previous
ownership. The gauges were replaced with modern AutoMeter
electronic gauges in the custom dash pad. A Kicker stereo system
was installed with four 6x9-inch Kicker speakers, a Kicker dual
12-inch 1200-watt subwoofer, Kicker 1200-watt amplifier and an
Alpine UTE-73BT digital media player. ** PREVIEW
