Scouts were built here in Louisville. A friend of mine had one. He also cleaned out the parts department of IH when they closed down the line. He had the only one I've seen with good body panels, mainly because he had enough parts to replace the ones that rusted off. It helped that he ran a salvage yard, so IH was happy to sell him the stuff he needed before he needed it.

I haven't seen Gary in a long time, but I suspect he's not driving it now. I'm sure his parts stash has dwindled to nothing by now. Still, it was kept on the road a heckuva lot longer than I thought it would be. He sure did love that thing.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
