This 1975 International Harvester Scout II is a largely stock, unrestored driver with a factory 345ci V8 and automatic transmission. The engine runs well with good oil pressure, and the truck’s four-wheel-drive system works in all ranges through factory Dana 44 differentials. A new thermostat and gasket have been installed, and other recent work has included replacement of numerous drivetrain seals and gaskets as well as an overhaul of the power-assisted front disc brakes. The truck’s condition includes some fixable rust issues and is covered in detail with nearly 150 photos and the video below. Its sale includes a clean Oregon title.

The body wears an older coat of its original Sunburst Yellow which shows a good overall shine for a driver. The seller describes the paint as in fair condition, detailing flaws such as occasional runs, touched up scratches, and areas of bubbling in the included video and photos. Modern 15″ alloy wheels wear newer 31″ x 10.5″ Wild Country XTX All-Terrain tires.

Panels look straight for the most part, with some metal repairs in the rockers but no evidence of major damage repair. Both doors are shown to shut well and their locks reportedly work properly. Exterior rust includes bubbling in the lower fenders and quarters as well as small perforations in the outer rockers. Corrosion is mostly light and superficial on door bottoms, but somewhat heavier in door jamb seams.

Chrome bumpers shine well and wear factory overriders up front. A straight and correct 1975 grille is present, while original sideview mirrors have been replaced with larger aftermarket items. Exterior lighting is functional throughout, including the rear license plate light.

The full-length removable hard top is home to a handful of dents along with corrosion as detailed in the video below. Glass is in generally good shape with a handful of small chips and though a bit stiff, side windows roll up and down as they should. Tired weather seals show some tape lines, and the top is said to leak a bit during washes or rain.

The 28-minute video above includes footage of the truck in action both on- and off-road, as well as detailed walk-arounds showing its exterior and underside.

A general air of use is exhibited inside, with likely-original rear upholstery mismatched to that on the torn but reportedly still comfortable front bench. No headliner or dome light are present. A stock three-spoke steering wheel is retained and looks free of damage, while behind it the standard olive-colored dash wears a woodgrain trim kit and its pad bears several cracks.

All instrumentation is said to work, although the oil pressure gauge reads low. The five-digit odometer indicates 89k miles and has possibly rolled over. A modern Kenwood CD player works through aftermarket speakers, and a new antenna has been installed but not yet hooked up. Under-dash courtesy lights are functional and the heater is said to work well along with the windshield wipers, while the washers, horn and lighter are not operable.

International’s own 345ci V8 was an optional, more powerful upgrade over the standard 304. This stock example is thought to be original and runs well, revving freely as seen in the video above. Its cylinder heads and bottom end are described as clean internally, and an oil pressure gauge hooked up for testing purposes shows 38psi at idle and over 50psi while under way.

A number of leaks have been repaired by the seller with new gaskets for the oil pan, valve covers, and intake manifold along with a fresh front crank seal. A new thermostat and gasket were also installed. The engine bay presents well with recently repainted valve covers, intake manifold and oil pan. A new battery hold-down will be installed before the close of the auction, and other ancillary items are described as complete aside from a missing intake heater tube.

The automatic transmission reportedly shifts well, routing power through a Dana 20 transfer case to Dana 44 front and rear differentials with 3.07 gears. The 4×4 system includes manual locking hubs and is shown to work in high and low ranges, though some effort is required to shift a balky transfer case if the engine is left running.

Power brakes used rear drums and front discs for 1975, and the seller has freshened these with new front rotors, pads and a fluid flush. The dual brake master cylinder is also a relatively recent item. The suspension features leaf springs at all four corners, with overload leaves in the rear.

The chassis shows clean inner rockers, shock mounts, frame rails, body perches and inner wheel wells. The worst of the corrosion underneath is reportedly isolated to the perforated flat sections of the rear cargo floor as detailed in the video above. Aged rubber body mounts could stand replacement, and evidence remains of transfer case leakage.

Prior service records are unavailable but the sale includes an owner’s manual, International hat and metal placard, and period literature along with the truck’s clean Oregon title.
