This 1971 International Harvester Scout 800B was acquired by the selling dealer in late 2020 out of Oklahoma and was subsequently refurbished with a repaint in Summit White as well as reupholstery of the interior in two-tone black and brown leather. Additional work included powder-coating the frame, rebuilding the steering box, refinishing the bed with oak floors, and the installation of a suspension lift, 15″ Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels, LED lights, front disc brakes, exhaust components, and a tilting steering column. Power is provided by a 304ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. This Scout 800 is now offered in Wyoming with a clean Oklahoma title.
The body was removed from the frame prior to being media blasted and repainted in Summit White. Additional work consisted of powder-coating the bumpers and trim as well as installing LED headlamps. The half-cab was refinished in metallic silver, and the full travel top was also reportedly refinished. Both units are shown uninstalled in gallery photographs below.
Black 15″ Mickey Thompson Classic III wheels are mounted with 31×10.5″ BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires all around. The ride-height is raised approximately 2.5″ using Rancho shocks, and additional work included rebuilding the steering box and installing power-assisted steering and front disc brakes.
The interior woodwork was reportedly carried out by Heritage Woodworks in Sheridan, Wyoming, and included installing Kentucky Oak wooden planks separated by black steel runners on the cargo floor. The front low-back bucket seats were reupholstered in black and brown leather with diamond-stitched inlays, and the floor was coated with a body-color Raptor liner underneath replacement black carpeting. Amenities include a Retrosound digital stereo, a replacement heater, and electric windshield wipers. Uninstalled rear bench seat cushions will reportedly accompany the sale.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames a suite of aftermarket gauges including a 160-mph speedometer with an inset six-digit odometer showing 200 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 304ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt and features red-painted International-branded valve covers, an aluminum radiator, and an Edelbrock air cleaner. Power is routed through a three-speed automatic transmission and two-speed transfer case.
The frame was media blasted and powder-coated in black, while the underbody was sprayed with black Raptor liner. An X-pipe exhaust system is installed.
In-progress photographs of the paintwork are provided by the selling dealer.
