    Only 140 had the big Holset, or to be precise, big exhaust housing. 141 had the same type of turbo that was still used in early 143.

    I'd like to have an early 140 with lights in the bumper and make it look like this

    can you or maybe somebody else explain to me differences between 0 and 1 series

    i am not very familiar with them at time when my father bought his firs 112 there was maybe max 10 scania here in croatia

    in my neighborhood there was one Lb140 and one 111 6x2 with crane

    at that time for parts which you maybe need you had to go in itally or in austria

    we get first offical scania service in 1998

    there was one company before who import parts

    there was no mechanics capable to repair scania one our 112 never had decent brakes it was very dangerous to drive it without trailer

    O series engines were high rpm low torque engines, both V8 and I6, 1 series was one of the first low rpm truck engines in the world. Late 0 series also had round headlights like 1 series.

    but even 0series have good torque/hp rating comparing to other trucks from that time


    those 0/1 series cabs looks like they have lot of rust problems

    is that problem because they mainly operate in north countries with lot of sale on roads or they are really problematic

    here we consider man f7/8 cab most problematic in terms of rust

    those 0/1 series looks like pretty spacious inside


    so what was most advanced trucks from 1970s?

    as for cab mercedes looks to me like most modern except noise inside you cant hear your own thoughts inside

    Some 0 and 1 series cabs rusted through in 2 years in Scandinavia.

    Most advanced cab in 70s? Volvo Globetrotter. 1977 or something. Engines and brakes, Scania.

    I know a guy with a 78 scania, there's no badge but it's 11 litre so I guess it's a 110, it was aircraft refueler, it's like the day it came out of the factory, interior too, no rust nothing, really nice to see such and old truck in such condition , starts first turn too and the engine sounds so crisp, sounds like an original 112, that's the best straight 6 sound ever

    f10/12 is from 1977 globetrotter is 79 volvo sent me tshirt with fh16 700 globetrotter xl on 30year anniversary

    those old scanias chassis and axles looks very ancient to me even first generation of 2series ( up to 1982/3)

    i know that those old volvos are hard to shift scania is like passenger car

    i know that old 4s90/110/120 zf gearboxes are very sensitive on high input torques

    so i guess scania had best drivetrain at that time
