This is the trucking magazine, TA/Petro puts out.

They contracted Gas Monkey Garage to do the build on a 1979 International Scout II with an Hellcrate engine for a contest giveaway.

I saw the show for this earlier in 2019. Nice looking truck. I just tried to enter the drawing but it's closed now.

Love the engine and love the Scouts but don't think they are a good match. A Scout should be four wheel drive (they turned it in to rear wheel only) and speed isn't in its DNA. They had to make too many changes to get that beast of a motor not to pretzel up the frame, like a custom frame. As a result its a fast franken machine with a Scout body on top. Interesting but not for me. Should have one of these:

HELLCATS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

If there was room(and I had financial means) I’d love to stuff one in my wife’s Chevy Colorado ZR2. Great little truck, but not real zippy.

Still waiting on the Ram Rebel TRX. If Ram doesn’t screw that truck up I could see myself trading my Challenger Hellcat and my Power Wagon for one.

100%. That's the type of Scout I'd like to have sitting right there in your garage.

This was a while back. Cant remember how much they sold it for. Funny how they always have a buffoon lined up with $75-$100k immediately who is looking for exactly the frankenmobile they put together. :unsure:

Not a fan of R Rawlings at all. He comes across to me like an arrogant alcoholic. Anyways, I happened to watch one of the shows when they were building this Scout. His crew had changed a lot, and they seem to really know what they're doing. -I agree in that its basically a Scout body on a custom frame, but I think it looks pretty sexy and unusual. I thought a rich guy that owns a bunch of popular truck stops bought it on one of the shows?!? Rawlings threw out some absurd number like 250K....and the guy talked him down and still way overpaid for it...

Like the Scout, like the power, but removing the 4x4 is like removing the magazine from your weapon. It might look good but its not going to do what you need it to do, or what it was made for. Weird.
