Still hunting for pictures...
Tell us about your Scout:
My earliest memories of an IH Scout was riding in the one my uncle owned - It was a red two door with a white top and he would take my brother and I on the beaches around Pensacola (in the 60's when you could still drive on them) and we'd look for interesting stuff - crabs, shells, washed up stuff... That's when my desire to be a Scout owner started.
By the time I could afford cars other than $500 specials - Scouts were hard to find or outside my price range. I finally bought a '80 diesel Scout II in 2000 and loved it. I lived in Colorado and went on every trail I could find. Off roaded with many Jeep owners who were surprised by its ability to keep up (and sometimes lead)... Unfortunately the transfer case died at about 180K miles and when I had it in the shop I was told the engine didn't look good either - he showed me a crack in the block that was seeping oil/antifreeze - so I sold it to a local IH enthusiast.
Sadly, in 2004 my computer was stolen and I lost all the pictures of the Scout that I had taken. It was a dark green 2-door with essentially no modifications other than a warn winch... I have searched for pictures online to no avail - will just have to rely on brain cells...
