I have to admit that I have not been keeping up with the vintage monster trucks coming out of the woodwork lately. Honestly, there is just to many different things to keep up with…Retro is on the rise! I know that there is a number of 80′s vintage monster trucks being rebuilt and a few newer old school style trucks coming out. Check out these videos from Monster Blog, who covered a recent old school monster truck event. Any monster truck fans want to help us keep up to date with all the vintage monster truck news? We are looking for photos, videos and photos! Via Monster Mayhem. NOTE: If you are reading this via email or Facebook, you may need to go to the Off Road Action website to view the videos.

I have always loved International Scouts. They are like the girl next door that is not as pretty or popular as the other girls, but surprises you by being just as good or better in bed than the more popular girls. The International Scout was never as popular as Jeeps or Broncos, but performed just as well on and off road as them. Frequent Off Road Action photo contributor Kevin Vaughan posted some more photos on the Ultimate Class 3 Photo thread on Race Dezert. In September 1978, International Harvester sponsored the Coors Off Road Championship in Colorado, a 100-mile race held on a closed course near Indian Springs. The day before the race, the competitors were all invited to display their rigs at Colorado Springs Equipment Co. All these Scouts were on display there; one that wasn’t there was Sherman Balch’s green-and-white machine that won the race the next day.

This is pretty neat! Most of the models that we see are perfect. If they were real vehicles, they would be in a car show or museum. Chuck Most from the Off Road Models forum built this International Scout model. The rust and front end damage looks very real. Awesome job!

This 1974 International Scout for sale has a somewhat rare half cab and appears to be in decent shape. Once you look past the hokey “roll bar” and the ugly flares, you see the Midas swivel seats and Rallye steering wheel.

Back in May, we featured an International Scout II that had a pop top Four Wheel Camper. We decided to go back to the original thread on Expedition Portal where we discovered this diamond in the rough. Make sure to click the link as there is a lot more photos there. It turns out that the owner has made a lot of progress on both the camper and the Scout. I do have to say that I am damn impressed with how everything turned out! What do you think? Do you like the concept of a SUV with a pop top camper?

In response to our recent articles about Ford Broncos with Four Wheel Camper poptop campers, an International Scout owner posted some questions on Expedition Portal about the Scout he recently purchased with a camper. Of course, it was not long before another member posted some great detail photos of his Scout Camper.

Expedition Portal is one of my favourite websites. While I love off road racing, sometimes it is just nice to get into the outback and enjoy nature with friends and family. Expedition Portal is a great website that is based on a group of individuals from around the world that love to explore in their 4×4′s and on their motorbikes. Some of the members are travelling the world on a two year expedition, while others are trying to explore their local mountains with their family whenever possible. One thing they all share is a love for the outdoors and their vehicles of choice.



Recently, I posted a message in the forum about the recent camperized Ford Bronco articles we published here , here and here. Unknown to me, Four Wheel Campers is a member of the forum and Stan responded with some info about the FW campers used on Broncos, Blazers, and International Scouts. Basicly, Stan mentioned that they are no longer manufacturing the campers (which I knew) and that they would not build a custom one. It turns out that it is just not profitable for them. I can understand not manufacturing them if they do not make money like their current models do. It is too bad. I think it was a great concept!

Make sure to check out the photos on the > Four Wheel Camper website as well as some from this post on Classic Broncos.com Lets hear some of your comments!
