Legendary 4x4s don't survive by luck—they survive because someone made the decision to fix them right. Every rocker panel, floor pan, and wheel arch you weld into your 1971–1980 International Scout II either strengthens it for another decade on the trail or leaves it vulnerable to the rust that's already trying to take it down. The Scout II is legendary for its off-road capability, but International Harvester sheetmetal is notorious for rusting in predictable spots: rocker panels that catch mud and road spray, floor pans that trap moisture under carpet and insulation, wheel arches hammered by trail debris, and body mounts that corrode where you can't see them until it's almost too late. When you start with panels built for serious repairs—not just cosmetic fixes—you're setting yourself up for a Scout that's solid underneath, not just clean on the surface.

We stock rust repair panels for the 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980 Scout II. Every panel is manufactured to match factory contours, ready for fitting and welding by Scout owners and shops who refuse to cut corners. Choose smarter. Build stronger. At Classic 2 Current Fabrication, we help you build it once—and build it right.
