It's a 1968, four cylinder, IH badge on the grill and "All Wheel Drive" on the fender. Is this an 800? Assuming it's complete but rough, not running, what's it worth roughly?

edit - I was wrong, it's titled as a '64. I guess that makes it an 80. I think it's completely stock, but I don't know for sure. Looks like four on the floor, there appear to be two transfer case sticks? Manual hubs, five lug axles, very very small carbed 4banger under the hood.

I have no idea yet. When I get a minute probably next week I'm going to grab a battery and see if it'll turn over and give me compression numbers. I'll decide then if I'm going to bother trying to get that little motor running or what.

I don't even know for sure I'm keeping it, TBH. Complete impulse buy :D.

The roof is pretty banged up, might not be savable. The doors are crooked on the hinges, there's a little cancer in the tailgate. Other than that it's actually pretty straight. It had a factory winch but that's gone. Tag on the dash says it's a Powerlock rear diff, so that makes it a Dana27 in back? Assuming that's the stock axle anyway.

You could still buy the commando, if only for the drivetrain and be money ahead on an engine swap. Just thinking out loud.

Engine and axles, since what's under that isn't likely anything desirable.

And the frame maybe. Being a Scout, that one is probably made of rust. :p
 
yes it is an 800. looks like a fun project. Ihpartsamerica, superscoutspecialist and binder planet will be your friend for sure. I am also willing to help where i can as I am building an 800B right now.
 
I had a '61 for a long time. Same 4 cylinder. Too under powered to be really road worthy with modern speed limits. Mine ran super good but 60 mph was top speed on a flat road. Or downhill for that matter. Any uphill at all and it was time to down shift and go SLOW.

Wheeled pretty good for what it was.
