Authored by veteran journalist and 4×4 historian Jim Allen with assistance from acknowledged Scout expert and collector John Glancy, this is the only Scout book the enthusiast will ever need.

With a foreword by the late Rod Phillips, the International Scout Encyclopedia chronicles the history of all the favorite Scout models, from the very first to the last one to leave the factory and some the public never saw. When the Scout was introduced for 1961, four-wheel drive was relatively new to the majority of the motoring public and the term “sport utility vehicle” had not been coined. International Harvester Company, best known for building durable trucks and farm equipment, was entering a market where the only serious competitor Jeep had several years start on everyone else. Over the next two decades until it was discontinued in October 1980, IH was to prove that the Scout was more than worthy of standing side by side with the big boys. The Scout had helped make four-wheel drive more mainstream by offering a recreational off roader and a daily driver in the same vehicle.

In this painstakingly researched and officially licensed Scout publication the authors have created the most thorough guide to these trucks on the market, with more than 500 images and 100,000 words. With never-before-seen pictures and new details about the iconic 4×4 that will surprise even the most dedicated devotee, the International Scout Encyclopedia is a must-have for any fan of International Harvester or of vintage four-wheel drive rigs.
