Federal304's 1979 International Scout II

---This one is a 1979 Traveler (118" Weel Base Scout II with fiberglass top and full liftgate/hatchback) I picked up in Southern Alabama after Hurricane Ivan. After saving it from an otherwise undeserving owner, a bud of mine (who found it) towing it back with his 2002 Expedition and another of his bud's trailer, I swapped a few parts with my bud and paid $350 for the title. Total cost on getting it here was $900... Not bad for a $2,500 OBO truck. $100 x 2 for new brake drums, 2 new wheel cylinders, a new water pump, a tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires), carb rebuild and a little TLC (loose fasteners mainly) got it running strong in no time.

---I'll post more on it when it graduates to something more than a mobile lawn decoration. It runs but is not yet roadworthy... and I haven't the time right now to work on it.
---This truck is the 88th truck registered at the International Owners' Gallery

Good to see someone saving a Binder from the hurricane affected area. Looks like it'll make a great project when you get the time. Just make sure you do get the time for the ole girl. She deserves it. Check out my 76 SII when you get the chance.
