1972 International Harvester Scout II Rallye | 345 V8, Auto, 4″ Lift, Matte Finish, Custom Interior

This 1972 International Harvester Scout II is a tastefully customized and well-sorted example of one of America’s most iconic early SUVs. Finished in matte blue with a matte black Rallye stripe and matching hardtop, this Scout II pairs rugged capability with modern updates and bold visual character. Power comes from a strong-running 345ci V8 mated to a TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission and a dual-range four-wheel-drive system.

This truck has been lifted four inches and rides on 17-inch matte black Mickey Thompson Deegan wheels wrapped in 33×12.50 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. Complemented by custom bumpers, a Rallye-style SSII grille, and black fender flares, the result is an aggressive stance with unmistakable presence.

Exterior

Refinished in matte blue with a contrasting black stripe package and hardtop, this Scout wears its custom touches with confidence. Paint and bodywork present well, showing off clean lines and a straight body. Black fender flares match the roof and wheels for a cohesive look, while the custom front and rear bumpers add visual toughness and protection.

The 17-inch Mickey Thompson Deegan wheels are finished in matte black and are fitted with newer BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires sized 33×12.50, adding to both stance and off-road functionality. A four-inch suspension lift enhances ground clearance and gives this Scout the right proportions without going over the top. The SSII-style front grille adds a desirable factory-inspired touch to the build.

Interior

Inside, the cabin has been re-trimmed in custom black diamond-quilt vinyl with blue contrast piping, tying the interior subtly to the exterior finish. Durable Rhino-lined flooring provides excellent protection against the elements, and the rear cargo area is equally clean and usable.

A roll bar is installed with three-point seat belts up front and new lap belts in the rear, enhancing safety while maintaining the open, classic feel. A Grant sport steering wheel is mounted ahead of a crack-free dashboard with working factory gauges and lighting. A Kenwood CD stereo with USB input and door-mounted speakers delivers modern tunes to match the driving experience.

Mechanical

Under the hood sits the original IH 345ci V8, known for its torque and durability. The engine starts readily, idles smoothly, and delivers strong power through a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, which shifts as it should. Four-wheel drive engages confidently and has been tested for proper function.

The Scout is equipped with power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes, making it easier to enjoy both on-road and off. The mechanicals have been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded to make this truck both reliable and ready for adventure.
