First car I ever owned was a 73 Scout II handed down from my dad who bought used in 1984 and had it shipped from Virginia to Guam (US territory in the Pacific). He worked at an International Harvester dealer on island and was able to get parts for it to keep it running. We unfortunately had to sell it when the family decided to move stateside in 1991.
I believe the original color was a light blue with shades of rust but It was repainted gun mental grey with white top, had a working 8 track player (came with the car when dad bought it), CB radio, and tire carrier. Original seats were replaced with Toyota Cressida seats that were an off color blue that totally didn’t match the grey interior of the truck but was what we had.
I remember the speedometer bouncing wildly whenever you went over bumps, had terrible gas mileage, and continued issues with rust. I drove it through my high school years and it was a unique vehicle on island, I can’t recall ever seeing any other Scouts on island but there were a lot of IH light trucks. Have a lot of memories of working on that truck with my dad.
Was super excited to see that Scout was coming back and reserved the Traveler.
