My second vehicle purchase. $1550 in 1972. 1968 International Harvester Scout half-cab. 102 HP four-banger. (That was the big one; the small one was 88 HP.) Three-speed stick with two-speed manual transfer case. Get in. Loosen four 9/16" hex-head bolts (there were 8 or so, but I only used the ones in the corners). Stand up holding the half top over your head. Step over the seat into the bed. Walk it off the tailgate. Instant chick-magnet vehicle with bonus doghouse (until you need it back.) That was my answer to my buddies with their snobby Jeep CJ5s!
