I'd love about a dozen of what they have listed, but if I had to pick only one, I'd make it a Scout II :D

The Greatest Trucks Ever - 51 Coolest Trucks Of All Time - Popular Mechanics

I was reading up on the diesel Scouts...... forgot that it was a Nissan motor......

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Harvester_Scout

That article reminded me how well the SSII's did in the Baja 1000 back when.... it was a different time, but still, an impressive win for a privateer.....

I know a guy that has a diesel Scout.

I think the last year had a turbo - somewhat rare in a light-diesel of that era.

Nicely done. The Wagon looks like a very capable plow-truck (I peeked at your other pics).

Thanks. I plowed with the PW for a couple years. It's crude, but it worked. Wear out your clutch leg as the plow lifts via the PTO winch (and of course it's a manual transmission). I've made my way up to a 74" front blower on a Kubota L3940. I'd post a picture, but this is a truck thread. :D

The intent with the PW is a full resto-mod type restoration. Get everything straight & dent free again. Go through all of it. Put disc brakes on it. Put in hardened valve seats for non-leaded gas. Just make everything work again.

Actually, the stiff clutch served to keep you warm plowing. Mine had a hydraulic plow lift (jury-rigged PS pump iirc) but the shifting was plenty chore enough. Mine had a sloped hood - does that make it a military model? Didn't know much then, and less now.

Please populate a thread with lots of pics as that project moves along ..... many TBN'ers will want to know !
