In 1961 International Truck introduced what would become the most successful, best-selling vehicle in the history of the company, the International Scout. In 1958 International made the decision to try to develop a vehicle that could compete with the Willys Jeep, since there was no other 4-wheel drive vehicle like it at the time. After months of frustration Ted Ornas, the project’s Chief Designer, while sitting at his kitchen table one night, hurriedly sketched a rough design almost out of desperation.

The Scout was designed for versatility and could accommodate a wide variety of implements including a front-mounted winch, rear PTO, snow plow, 3-point hitch, 60” rotary mower, rear winch, post hole digger, and more. Throughout its history the Scout was used for about every purpose imaginable. It was obviously popular as a family passenger vehicle and a pickup truck, but was also used as a brush fire truck, recreational vehicle, U.S. Mail delivery vehicle, tow truck, farm vehicle, Brink’s armored vehicle… and even a dump truck!
