G series is the heavy chassis for tipper work or basic heavy haul unit. I had a 143 v8. 14lt series 3 tractor unit with low loader for carting a drill and 16t digger on that when bare back would wind up to 150kph easy and pulled like hell. Twin stacks with the racing exhaust manifolds similar to Marty Mone one just the earlier series for afew year's

quick tip from personal experience, when making a conversion from a conventional bulb to an LED bulb look for ones that say 12/30 volts. the ones that say 24 volts don't last long because when the truck is running it produces almost 30 volts to charge the batteries

It being one of the few trucks like it in the States I feel it should be left close to stock in appearance. An exhaust upgrade or modifications out of sight could still be considered.

Take a look at the uk/Irish diesel tanks, square for maximum capacity, often built around air tanks/battery boxes etc. You can even run a split tank on the hydraulic side, you could probably double your diesel capacity and keep the hydraulics.

Here we go immediately start talking of cutting off the square tanks and what else Bruce the chassis then single drive to do burnouts. The reason for Square tanks is more fuel longer distance. Leave it alone in original condition.

This 4 series steering wheel is one of the most comfortable steering wheels on European trucks

It's pronounced Euklid. Quick story. I worked at a TA in Brookville PA. Saw my first Scania it was a conventional hood and fell in love with the sound of the V8!! Love the fact you're bringing them back to the front of people's minds!! Great job Bruce!!

I'm going to keep this one stock for 5 minutes. :D

That mining truck you were looking at, it's actually made near my town where I live. They're manufactured in Euclid Ohio. Judging by the look of it, I think it might be around the late 50s early 60s era

😂😂😂😂I've got an ambulance on standby!! Love that dude!!

Those round fuel tanks you talked about are most likely LNG tanks. The newer SCANIA’s have the option to run on natural gas. I recommend getting a bigger square tank (like the one you have now) if you want more range.

On scanias you can switch off the top spot lights and just turn on the bottom spot lights on high beam for fog. The 2 inside lights in the bumper are high beam fog lights next to the low beam fog lights. But with after market top spot lights it might not work that way. The switches to toggle between top and bottom spot lights should be below the switch to turn on the lights.

Bruce thanks again for letting me check out Scania and for you and your brother taking the time to talk with me. I’d love to stop by your shop and see the rest of your toys.

I’m a die hard 379 fan/owner but I would most definitely try out a Scania

The scania is called a 3 pedal opticruise over ere in the uk-take a bit of getting use to over a 2 pedal( normally stall it when coming to a stop.

That's like my 2002 Pete. It's called an Auto-shift. I loved mine and with the arthritis in my right hand, it sure was a pleasure to drive. Did my last 3ooK miles before I retired in it.

For sure in the late 80's the most revolutionary European truck was the first Mack /Renault magnum series designed by Giugiaro. The Scania's 4 series was also revolutionary for his time, but it cames later, and also the first globetrotters from volvo in the 80's were also ahead for his time. There is not only scania. 😊

I can't wait for you to get done with "souping" up these Scanias only to get a newer, now new, but to get more original but I guess "souped" to fit what a European actual truckdriver would want. Then show it at places for American truckdrivers to try out and give their opinion compared to their daily. That would be ideal for us Euros to to hear and see. LOVE the series though, big ups. *edit, and to prepare questions for the American truckdrivers to ansewer. That would be ideal. Thanks.

The one thing I've learned about getting an alignment on a big truck is to always make sure they align the steering wheel, too! I wouldn't know if that would also apply on a Euro Truck, too, or not, especially since their trucks are so much more advanced. I wouldn't be surprised if their steering wheel aligns automatically once the axle is aligned, lol! No, but seriously, though. I've never gotten an alignment that did the job perfect, even with getting the steering wheel aligned, too. The truck always still pulls to one side even after the alignment! I don't even think I've ever driven a truck that didn't pull, and that's even after doing the king pins, etc etc.

I dont understand the concept of Americanising this truck, It would make more sense to keep it standard European to show and highlight the difference. Back in the day lots of British operated trucks from both Scania and Volvo were 'Americanised' by false Kenworth style radiator Grills, stack exhaust pipes and extended sleepers. To their owners they may have looked better, but the majority of us ordinary drivers saw them as mongrels ! I personally think if you went ahead with tarting this old girl up, you would spoil the European experience for American drivers, many who would then think it always looked like that . Keep it original Bruce, it would be more appealing in its proper design.....plus Square tanks are good, round tanks hold less!
