I'll offer that I have a '72/73/74/75 manual, and it has come in very handy
on my '77.  I just looked, and it only covers the T18 (I don't think there's
a huge difference with the T19, right?), but it does have the Gold Box, the
various carbs I've had, the disc brake Dana 44 (74/75!) and just about
everything I've needed.

Just a lucky coincidence, since I bought it when I only had my '72.. :-)

T19 was offered from 75-80

There's a Haynes for the Scout 80x, but not the Scout II.  

Chilton has a book that covers '72-79 trucks.. Jeep, GMC, Dodge, Ford, and
IH.. it's OK, and it comes in handy as a cross-reference to "double check"
the IH manual, or to just get a different view of the same thing.. 

I think we've had this discussion before.. *MY* conclusion was.. The More
Manuals the Merrier!
