HI ALL,
Are parts and upgrades still readily available for Scouts? I would think not.

It's good to see some Binder Iron on the site. Here is the '75 that I've been driving since I bought it from the original owner in '79. It still does snow trips, desert trips, mountain trips and IH shows without fail. It has a long list of drive train mods and has proven to be extremely reliable over these 32 years.
Surprisingly they are available. IH bought components from the same places everyone else did - Warner/Chrysler transmissions, Dana axles, Delco ignition, Holley/Motorcraft carbs, etc. The power plants were widely used in industrial trucks (water pumps, dump trucks, farm equipment and such) and while not as common as a SBC I can still walk into NAPA and get seals and gaskets and other IH specific stuff.
