1980 Internaional Scout — It was a big brown POS but i loved it. The roof came off but took 4 people to lift.. it got horrible fuel economy even for a truck... It was nearly indestructable except for the plastic grille... Parts were damn near impossible to find. I would get another one in a heartbeat if i could afford it

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Beefy

Cons: Parts too hard to find

Scout Diesel — My First Diesel. Great truck, powerful, great for plowing, wheeling, and highway driving. Great sound with 3" strait pipe. Soon to have a GM 6.2

Pros: Great truck.  I've really beat on this thing and it's still in as good of shape as when I bought it.

Cons: Nissan P.O.S. Motor, No overdrive

1989 S1600 International — Name of "Big Ugly". Front of box converted to camper, with overhead bed. Rear had added windows, and tie downs for hauling off road Jeep.

Pros: Would haul anything you put in it or hooked to it.

Cons: "~~Six days on the road, but I'm gonna make it home tonight~~". Not the fastest truck on the highway.
