Axles in a IH Scout

should be d44 iirc
 
the scout front axles are generally setup for fullwidth perches SUA, and set to ~0 deg caster, so if doing SOA on a street driven rig, probly will need to rotate the knuckles...

also the spindles are of an 8 bolt variety... very rare to see flat top knuckles... the stock steering arm is long compared to most, so a longer pitman arm, or different outers are required to get full steering... they use the external lockouts like the CJ dana 30, 5x5.5 wheel bolt pattern... IIRC they use different length shafts then ford/chevy/jeep/dodge...

All true. Shaft lengths are pretty close to regular track waggy axles. Flat tops can be made from 74/75 full size IH truck knuckles (if you want to keep the 8 both spindles and scout brakes). Most guys swap over to chevy/ford outers and brakes.

SOA is a bit tough due to the u-bolt groves on the front housing and the need to rotate the steering yokes. Requires some work to get a good perch on the pass side.
