.......1100 four door pickup. I seen one this morning. You don't see many of these anymore. This one was in decent shape. Mid 60's model but I'm not sure of the exact year.

Had a nice Scout II. Man do I miss that thing. Yes it eventually had the obligatory rust around the rear wheel wells and the inside where the spare tire mounted was 80% Duct tape. 😮
Growing up on the farm a 69 International and 62 Studebaker pickup was what I learned to drive
Can I play? Mine isn’t an IH but it’s similar. And made from aluminum - magnesium alloy it won’t rust! But it will burn....
If you want to see a tank, look at the old Dodge power wagons. I drove one in some serious mountain roads for few years. It had a big PTO winch on front. I winched out a 18 wheeler that was stuck in mud up to it's axles, had the back of the Power Wagon tied to a big tree as a dead man and the old power wagon was floating in the air as the cable tightened. Dangerous stuff if a cable snapped. Top speed about maybe 40, lot of gear noise. 6 cylinder
Here is a link to some pic's of them 1100's. I've got a 1977 IH Scout II, 4x4, 4 lo, 4 Hi and 2 wheel drive with positrac standard, 4 speed xmission with granny gear, 304 V8, 70K miles, Power Steering, Power Brakes, AC, winch on front, single cab hard top that was a full rag top when I first acquired. Had about 37K miles when I acquired. I cleaned the undersides and uncoated the rig myself and keep the internal metal flushed out. No rust. Will cruise down Hi-way at 70, no problems. I have the Helm's series service manuals and do all my own mechanic work on the Scout II. Rides ok on dirt roads, not a rough ride like the old 800's. Them old 800 IH 4 bangers were made from 1/2 of the V8 engine.
Really a nice huntin buggy Corn Binder.
I had a teenage farm kid ask me once where I got that Massey Ferguson jeep. He was serious. Been thinking about trying to find some Massey Ferguson emblem's to install on each fender. I have a nice IH cap I wear when driving it and my old IH tractor.

Learned to drive a 10 wheeler hauling grain in an old 1967 IH 4 speed with a two speed rear axle . Later drove an identical rig hauling drilling rods all over eastern nc and tidewater Virginia for about two years
Counting Cars, (Counts Customs) did a 74 IH Scout II for a couple a little while back. Man it was sweet. I wish they still made those Scouts, I'd like to have another. Probably be $41K plus though.
I loved that thing.
At the farm now, there are 3 Scouts and 2 pickups sitting in the shed.
Trucks are in good shape.
The scouts were picked up for the rear ends.
Nothing like Scouting a little rearend for a pickup. 😉
