Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Hitch part # 13580 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1977 International Trucks Scout II that has a factory step bumper. Bumper bracket modification is needed since it's a step bumper.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C58044 which is a confirmed fit.
