This Custom Nissan Titan Made To Look Like An International Scout Is An Automotive Abomination

If you person nan clip and nan know-how, aliases much realistically if you person nan disposable income, you tin do virtually thing pinch a car. You could move a MazdaSpeed Protoge into a mini truck, you could V10-swap a Lincoln Continental, or, if you're a instrumentality of producing automotive abominations, you could fabricate a civilization International Harvester Scout II assemblage to fresh connected a 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X. If for immoderate sick logic that past action piques your interest, you're successful luck because there's a civilization International Harvester Scout II-bodied 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X up for auction connected Bring A Trailer correct now.

It's a classical lawsuit of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should," but that didn't extremity personification from producing this motoring monstrosity. It's moreover painted green, truthful it feels very correct to telephone it a Frankenstein build. It's chiefly built from nan philanthropist Titan XD Pro-4X, but it allegedly besides has a cab from an existent International Harvester Scout II, and parts from a Ford F-100, a Ford Econoline, a Ford Expedition, and a slew of civilization parts. All I tin opportunity is wow.

I can't determine what nan worst portion is — nan uncanny valleyºstyle exterior quality that is what you'd spot if you looked astatine an International Scout a mates hours aft taking a fistful of mushrooms, aliases nan truth that nan interior is conscionable nan bony banal Titan's cabin. It's moreover still gotten nan Nissan badge connected nan steering wheel.

Whomever decided to build this was not acrophobic of an aggravated project. They went truthful acold arsenic to shorten nan original Titan chassis by a whopping 46 inches, aliases astir 4 feet. The advertisement claims that "the cab from an International Harvester Scout II was fitted to a 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X chassis," but I struggle to spot immoderate authentic Scout looking astatine nan last product. The A-pillars are measurement excessively heavy to beryllium from an International, nan mostly of nan doors look to beryllium consecutive disconnected a Titan, and nan full interior is banal Titan, truthful I do not spot immoderate portion that could beryllium from a existent International. Maybe nan beforehand model statement resembles that of a Scout? Though nan build diagrams show really nan International cab was integrated pinch the Titan's, truthful I could conscionable beryllium excessively distracted by nan remainder of nan truck's blasphemous quality to spot nan Scout successful it. 

The advertisement states that nan windshield is from an F-100, nan tile sheet is from an Econoline van, and nan rear solid is from an Expedition, and each those are visibly true. It retains nan Titan's 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8 and six-speed automatic transmission, arsenic good arsenic nan shift-on-the-fly dual scope transportation lawsuit and 4WD, which intends it should astatine slightest beryllium a tin all-terrain vehicle. 

Ultimately it's not a bad build. In truth nan fabrication activity looks great, nan sheet fitment looks remarkably consistent, and it doesn't look for illustration an amateur job. I conscionable don't understand why anyone would take to do this. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
