                    Awesome Scout!
                    I had to master the clutch on my Dads' '71 International 1 ton pick up before I could get my drivers license. Stalled that beast so many times. Frustrated the hell out of Pops!
                    When I went to school at Corvallis he gave it to me. It had a 392 five speed with a four barrel Holley stock.
                    I can remember hauling a very heavy load, getting four miles to the gallon. I don't think it ever got over fourteen. Miss that thing. It was a kidney buster though.

                        This happened the other day.



                        After 52 years of service the radiator broke. It was my fault, it has slotted mount holes and i let it sit too low. It was resting on the edge of body so it rubbed/cracked.



                        Took the rad over to one of the few remaining old timey rad shops in Atlanta and they welded it up good as new(ish)

                        To celebrate i went and hauled a pile of 16 foot long fence boards in the georgia sunshine.

                                Came across this vid aired in australia when the scout was first introduced, pretty cool.
