It certainly looks just like the yellow Scout 80 I posted earlier today and in its CC here. But then I’m sure it wasn’t the only one.

Vintage Car Carriers: Is That The Same Yellow Scout Up There? And Another Load Of International Pickups
– Posted on June 6, 2020
That Scout has its frame sitting on a rack, and there are no ramps for the wheels. I’d be curious to know how it’s loaded, and more importantly how it is unloaded at its destination.
Indeed. My guess would be it was loaded using a fork lift. Seems like an odd way to transport a vechicle.
You’d be needing a larger fork lift than most dealerships would be likely to have.
Well, this is International Harvester. They make forklifts 🙂
I suspect there are “jumper ramps” stowed someplace on the trailer that span the gap so the Scout can be driven off. They can only be installed when the cab and trailer are aligned straight.
I find the two tone step side interesting.. I would imagine that a company ordered it in those colors. It’s a very heavy duty rig.
Another one I’d like to see the bonnet popped for a quick look.
Scout tire’s getting close to the pickup hood.
I was referring to raising the Fleetstar’s tilt-open hood.
The head-rack appears to be hinged at the front bumper to allow for hood opening but still it looks complicated.
Notice the Fleetstar’s radiator shutters? That was the ‘thermostat’ if you will.
Looks like it might be a 4X4 too. With a 8.5″ bed. Only International built trucks like that. My guess would be it was powered by the 265 ‘Black Diamond’ 6. Below that heavy duty pickup is a pickup representing the other end of the scale, a 900. The 900 had a short wheelbase with a bed barely 6′ in length, notice there is no step between the rear fender and the back of the cab. Most were powered by the 152 cube slant 4 from the Scout. An early mini-pickup! The carrier is pulled by a Fleetstar tractor, basically a heavy duty version of the Loadstar.
Yellow scout on top of car carrier was not 1980 I had one square headlights completely different body great 4×4 like a bull have a good night
The “Scout 80” refers to the model, not the model year.
Top photo is a toy. Note the size of the bricks behind the truck.
Wouldn’t that be incredible detail for a model?
I agree something looks a bit surreal about the photo, but I’m not sure what exactly.
Notice the cab-box line on the orange pickup?
Maybe that could be the page fold?
