About USS!!

Scout PluSS!! Was started to serve the Canadian Market as no other business caterers solely to the Scout/Scout II enthusiast in this country. We buy in volume from our American Brothers who have specialized in IHC products and service! As a large importer of these products we save on brokerage, duty & shipping fees and pass these savings on to you! We also search for hard to find and NOS items.

Currently we have a modest fleet of parts vehicles (1-Scout 80, 2-Scout II and 4-1970’s IHC Trucks). We have 4 Scout II’s that are either being restored/modified or used as daily drivers and one 1971 1210 pickup that has 65,000 original miles used as a parts/delivery vehicle.

My very 1st Scout (1976 Traveler) was bought used in 1980 with 76,000 miles. I totally restored the vehicle in 1985 and then embarked on its maiden journey, covering 9,000 miles in 31 days. The trip started on the border of B.C. and headed south thru Seattle, Portland Or., San Francisco and along the coast to L.A., proceeding east, passing through Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, Dallas, Memphis (yeah…saw Graceland too!) Nashville, Knoxville, Roanoke and finally to Virginia Beach!!! Heading North across the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel, went through Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Portland Me., and then to St. John to cross the ferry to Digby N.S.

After a week of visiting relatives in Nova Scotia, it was time to head back west. Following along the Trans Canada Hwy for the most part, it was Fredericton, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg and Regina. Then North to Saskatoon, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Dawson Creek. To complete the trip it was South through Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Ashcroft, Lytton and Hope! During the whole trip I saw less than a dozen Scouts! With my freshly restored Scout I had my eye looking for others during the trip and proof to me that IHC vehicles were uncommon on the road back in the eighties!
