WE ARE LISTING FOR SALE OUR 1970 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT 800A. MOTOR IS A 196. ORIGINALLY A CALIFORNIA TRUCK TILL 2009, THEN TRAILERED TO THE MIDWEST. IN 2013, THIS SCOUT FOUND ITS WAY TO OUR CABIN IN THE UPPER PENINSULA FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. MY HUSBAND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS DUE TO OUR LACK OF TIME UP HERE SINCE THE KIDS ARE ALL GROWN AND MOVED AWAY. THE TRUCK GETS TAKEN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND PUT UNDER THE TREE FOR THE FEW WEEKS WHEN WE ARE UP HERE IN THE SPRING AND IN THE FALL. ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS HEALTH HE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT. HE BUILT THE ULTIMATE BACK WOODS FISHING TRUCK FOR HIS NEEDS.TRUCK STARTS RIGHT UP AND GOES DOWN THE ROAD JUST FINE. HE DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND PUT FRESH GAS IN IT THEN TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE LAKE THIS WEEKEND.

FRESH REAR SHOCKS AND UPGRADED HOOD SPRINGS INSTEAD OF THE METAL ROD FROM THE FACTORY AND ELECTRIC COOLINGFAN. IN 2013, THE UPHOLSTERYWAS DONE WITH NEW HANDMADE COVERS AND FOAM CUSHIONS, LOOKS STILL BRAND NEW. IT WAS A CUSTOM JOB THAT COST 1300.00 AT THAT TIME. THE 3 SEATS ARE STILL FLAWLESS WITH LESS THAN 350 MILES ON THE TRUCK SINCE THE SEATS WERE COMPLETED. NO ONE HAS EVER SAT IN THE BACK. THE TRUCK WAS UPGRADED WITH NEW RIMS AND TIRES JUST A FEW YEARS AGO AS WELL. TIRES WERE 532.00 AND THE RIMS WERE 618.00, TOTALING 1150.00. HE ALSO GOT A FULL SPARE ON THE BACK TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL 5 RIMS/TIRES MATCHED. BRAKES WERE GONE THROUGH WHEN WHEELS WERE INSTALLEDAT A LOCAL GARAGE HERE. THERE WAS A NEW STARTER INSTALLED WHEN THE TRUCK FAILED TO START ONE DAY 3 YEARS AGO. TURNED OUT IT WAS THE KEY IGNITION SO THE GARAGE INSTALLEDA SWITCH. ONCE THE TRUCK KEY IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION YOU PUSH A BUTTONTO HAVE THE TRUCK START. LAST SPRING MY HUSBAND INSTALLED2 NEW BATTERIESSO THEY ARE ALMOSTA YEAR OLD. WHEN THE NEIGHBOR WAS HELPING US TAKE THE PHOTOS THEY TRIED TO REMOVE THE LICENSEPLATES. THE REAR ONE CAME OFF BUT THE FRONT ONE THEY COULD NOT GET REMOVED. SO WE WILL ASK THAT THE BUYER PLEASE CUT IT UP WHEN THEY GET IT OFF. OUR NEIGHBOR ADVISED THAT WE COVER IT UP FOR THE PHOTOS.

AGAIN HE BUILT THIS FOR HIS DREAMS OF A PERFECT FISHING BACKWOODSTRUCK. HE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING HE WANTED ON IT AND PUT IT ON THE TRUCK. JUSTUNFORTUNATELYNEVER GOT TO REALLY USE IT MORE THAN A HANDFULOF TIMES. THE TRUCK NEEDS A GOOD WASH.
