For those seeking a ready alternative to Willys’ Jeep CJ models, the natural alternative was International-Harvester’s Scout. Built at International’s Fort Wayne, Indiana factory, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1965 International-Harvester Scout 80 “split-stick” 4×4 which is the the final year for the original seminal Scout 80 design. We find that this little grabber blue 4×4 Scout to be the cutest truck in our inventory! It would serve a fun purpose as a beach cruiser or a families summer lake house vehicle! It sure looks better than the neighbors side-by-side!
The scout 80 came in five different variations and this Scout is a factory steel cab top 4×4 version. International advertised the steel cab in 1965 as recommended for winter duty north of the Mason-Dixon Line and so is the heater.
The truck’s grabber blue paint and trim are in overall very good condition. The bodywork is nice, the engine bay is in tidy condition, the black bumpers are in great shape and the battery looks very good. The cargo bed area still retains the original metal but has some bangs from the past 50 years and the tailgate is in great condition.
Under the hood is International’s 152 CID Comanche four-cylinder motor, backed by a three-speed Borg Warner T-14 manual transmission that routes all-wheel drive power to the wheels via a Spicer 18 case and a pair of Spicer axles and front locking hubs. Both front and rear differentials were offset to the passenger side for the purpose of lining up the driveshafts with the transfer case and clearing obstacles offload. Only four-cylinder engines were offered in the Scout 80 but there was an optional turbocharger. The 152 CID engines were overhead-valve slant-four powerplants derived from the 304 V-8 engine and designated the 4-152 Comanche. The three-speed manual transmission was the Borg Warner T-14 in the 4WD Scouts and the iron-case, gear-drive 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 steel cab headliner is in good, original order. The Scout’s interior is decidedly spartan, mirroring a time when the design focus was utility and reliability. The four-spoke steering wheel is in good, original order, while the inner door liners and metal instrument panel are all in good condition.
The original Scout was the Model 80 which sat on a 100-inch wheelbase. It was brought to market in 1961 in both 4×2 and 4×4 models, with the 4WD versions more popular. IH produced a tick over 100,000 units during the Model 80’s five-year lifespan.
In 1961, International Harvester advertised the new Scout stating, “Quick-change artist. In minutes, you can make the Scout whatever kind of vehicle you want. Weather tight cab top, doors and windows are easy to take off, even the windshield folds down. It’s a station wagon, a convertible, a light-duty hauler, a runabout…like having four vehicles for the price of one!” The Scout 80 was offered with several different removable top options and a fold-down windshield.
The short wheelbase SUV sat on a ladder-frame similar to the trucks of the day. The Scout 80 had a payload rating of 800 pounds and used a leaf-spring suspension with straight axles, as was common. The front 4WD axle was a closed-knuckle Spicer 27 or 27A. The rear axle could be a Spicer 27 or a Spicer 44 (starting in 1962). Powr-Lok limited-slip 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.
Competition to this Scout in 1965 included Willys’ and Kaiser’s Jeep models and Ford’s new-for-1966 Bronco. If you’re after a new off-roader that’s not a Jeep, you owe it to yourself to visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and check out this Scout 80 4×4 for yourself as these scout 80’s are becoming hard to find!

About International
Let's delve into the history of International Harvester (IH), a renowned American company known for its trucks and agricultural equipment, and explore different models in a narrative way.

The Foundation of International Harvester:
International Harvester, often abbreviated as IH, was established in 1902 through the merger of several smaller companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, and several others. The newly formed company aimed to become a major player in the agricultural and industrial machinery sectors.

Early Focus on Farm Equipment:
Initially, International Harvester concentrated on producing agricultural equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows. The company's Farmall tractor line, introduced in the 1920s, was a significant milestone. These tractors were versatile and affordable, playing a crucial role in revolutionizing farming practices in the United States and beyond.

International Trucks:
In the 20th century, International Harvester expanded its product offerings by venturing into the truck manufacturing business. International trucks quickly gained a reputation for their durability and reliability, making them a staple for commercial applications, from delivery vehicles to heavy-duty workhorses. The Scout, a compact SUV introduced in the 1960s, became a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Growth and Evolution:
International Harvester continued to grow and diversify its product range. The company produced a variety of truck models, from small pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Loadstar and the Travelall are notable examples of popular International truck models from the mid-20th century.

Challenges and Transformation:
In the 1970s, International Harvester faced financial challenges, including a downturn in the agricultural market and increased competition in the truck industry. As a response, the company underwent significant changes. It rebranded its truck division as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on truck manufacturing and engine production, while its agricultural equipment business was spun off into the Case Corporation, forming Case IH.

Legacy and Modern Times:
The International Harvester name, synonymous with rugged trucks and farm equipment, continues to live on in the hearts of many enthusiasts. International trucks are still found on the road, with a strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector. Navistar International Corporation continues to be a significant player in the truck manufacturing industry, adapting to the changing landscape with advancements in technology, environmental concerns, and customer needs.

International Harvester's history is a story of innovation and adaptability in the face of challenges, reflecting its legacy of producing reliable vehicles and equipment that have played pivotal roles in American agriculture and transportation
