1976 IH Scout - Need Help!

[4x4RangerGuy]

Hi Guys,

I came across a pretty amazing find on the way back from my gf's house. A guy is selling a 1976 IH Scout, with only 28k miles!!!

I pulled over to check it out, and this thing is in pretty amazing condition. Just a little rust in the normal places, but everything else is in good condition. I need some help with identifying the components since I am unfamiliar with IHs.

I need info on the motor, tranny, tcase, and front and rear axles if possible. The motor is a small V8, and the transmission is a 4 speed unit and the transfer case is a manual shift.

He started it up for me and it runs top with a new carburetor, tune up items, and starter. I was amazed at how well it ran. No smoke or weird idle issues. The clutch worked perfectly and the tranny and tcase shifted flawlessly.

I'm really considering buying it depending on my finances of course. Any help is appreciated!

Maybe I can help........where is this truck at????

 

[smokey]

304 V-8 or the 345 V-8 for the engine
Dana 44 front and rear axles
most had a dana 20 t-case
for the tranny it is most likely a T-427 or T-428 4-speeds

I thought (maybe some?) scouts had D30s up front...

The older ones did have the dana 30's proir to 1974 I think was the year it may have been 1975. then they switched to 44's front and rear.

the 345 is actually a small BIG BLOCK! International also made a 9.0 L, but i never saw one in a scout.
