I see yours is the ''blue block'' .the ''orange block '' like was in mine is the industrial block. I dunno what the difference is. its not the true ''max wedge'' block cause it doesn't have the side bolts thru the block and into the main bearing caps. yours also appears to be bolted thru the rear spring hangers. mine was bolted thru the original 401 rear motor mounts.

I didn't think the Max Wedge block had cross cross bolt mains?

I just bought a 1955 B42T, and I have been thinking of converting it over to a 440 with a 727 automatic. Its cool to see pictures of a Mopar powered Mack. I bought the truck completely dissasembled, so I can pretty much make it how I want it to be.

I wouldn't do it, not with a 727 and I myself swear by them! I don't think the tail shaft and spline will hold up to turning that kinda iron, and you would have to get a yolk and U joint? maybe a trans out of Cummins? The 440 is not as heavy duty as the 413 as most of the 361-and 413 truck engines had timing gears no chain, the crank and crank flang is heavier the water pump and I think the fule pump is also diff. I also looked into putting on in my C900 but found out that it looks the same but they are very diff. animales

It just seems funny to me how a company like Caterpillar can come out with a junk Accert motor, dump it into the trucking ind. then walk away from it and all it's troubles?? Then come out with a truck built on a Navistar and go back in busn. like nothing ever happened?? And people buy them before a Mack or a Western Star or Pete, KW??? Even today some guys still talk about the Detroit 00-92's and how they will never buy a Detroit again? and GM (at that time) made good on all the 92's that went bad and replaced them with the Silver series!

Mack started to test out speed and RPM stuff before going to the V-Mack one I think was on the bell housing and the other was on the tail shaft of the trane

BULLHUSK

PS the distributer did not have a tack drive or i'm sure they would have run thr RPM'S off of it!!!

Going to look at this Brockway this week to buy for myself, can you guys help me with a model number or any info, I believe 1954 has flathead.has Pa. Plates on it, thought somebody here might recognize it. Supposed to have solid body, runs good, air brakes. Thanks Dave

Could be a 155W? Has a 427 Continental the tag is on the fire wall on the pass side, that will give you the vin an model # Also if it hasn't been changed it's probably 6 volts system post it on the Brockway site an one a the guys will know the truck good luck

With much help from fxfymn, I brought home my latest addition to the growing fleet, a 1918 World War 1 class B Liberty truck. Wood spoke, solid rubber tires, 4 cylinder, 424 cubic inch, 52 horsepower with a top speed of a blistering 14 mph. Hope to get started on the restoration soon. Plan to bring it to the ATHS show in York, Pa next May, finished or not. It joins my 1918 AC Mack Army truck, and the 1917/18 Mack built searchlight/antiaircraft trailer. Last picture is the gun trailer. Steelman

I will tell you this..... I give you guys a lot of credit to build these pre 1950's trucks as I have a hard time finding parts for my 1965 Dodge Coronet 500's!!!!

BULLHUSK

I'll be at Carlisle for the Mopar show. If you can't go post a list of exactly what you are looking for. Paul

Paul,

Who is the guy in western Pa with the pole barns full of OEM dealer parts?? I bought my 65 Coronet bottom OEM fender panels as well as a new OEM K frame for a big block??????????????????

BULLHUSK

Wonder what happened to the rear, why were the drive axles out of it?

Hard to believe people that are this stupid can get a job driving a truck, very scary, to say the least!

Ron

He sold the rears for a Mack Trucks Turbin!....................... Is there one?

If you own a Dodge diesel pickup, the best thing you'll ever do is join the Turbo Diesel Register. It's a great bunch of people that share information and experiences specifically about Dodge diesel pickups (all years).

I'm sure you can better understand your problem and find a solution thru the Turbo Diesel Register.

Done!

Thanks BULLHUSK

Quad with a 3 way will keep your mind sharp. Nice truck. Joe D.

Joe, We had CCC Mixers at Colonial with RTO 950-10 with 3 speed over aux. powered buy a 238 Detroit! It was one of the best combo trucks I ever drove! great Low-Low and a great top end ta boot! But 18 + 3? don't know?

if what you saw was a 143 then I don't doubt those numbers.... the early series 1x0 and 1x1 (the x for engine, 6cyl is 1 and the v8 is 4) were known for their cab worm, as was the Volvo F88/89... to the purist, the Scania 143 was the pinacle of the design and even at 20-30 years old still hold esteem.

BC Mack

Ya Know I did not get the model of the truck but it was still in great shape for its age! And so are the others that I see! I just saw a conventional today commin down Rt 78 again in great shape

I saw one today in Newark NJ at a RM yard and talked to the driver from Spain his is a cab over with a dump body, It's a 6 cyl Scania diesel and all SC drive train.....................OVER 1 Million miles on the drive train and the Motor has not been touched! the man bought the truck new from Franks Truck center back in the 80's I talked to him about the Scania trucks in the Euro market from what he told me is when you need a truck, a real good truck to do heavy work you buy a Scania! I never thought to much about them untill now, but when I thought about it these trucks have been running around Jersey now for almost 30 years, the same ones! So there has to be something about them that is good cause except for me runnin my 86 mack and 93 Pete's there aint to many US trucks 30 years old left runnin around any more! I hope to have my 1971 RL700L on the road by the end of the summer an I am sure that will have some peoples ears bleeeeedddng! LOL

Tell me about it. Sounded good too. I even saw a bright green Scania.

Heavy Duty Trucking / June 2014

Who is Scania, and why should you care?

Unlike Volkswagen, which is a household name in the U.S. because of its cars, the Scania name is not well-known here – although if you've been in the business for a long time, you may remember Scania's unsuccessful attempt to introduce its trucks to the U.S. market in the mid-'80s.

Last month, Volkswagen, which already controlled more than 89% of the voting rights in the Swedish truck maker, made a 6.7 billion euro ($9.2 billion) takeover bid.

VW's goal is to combine Scania with its Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles business and the German truck maker MAN. VW gained full control of MAN last year after taking a majority stake in 2011.

This is a big step in the German automaker's plan to create a massive trucks alliance to compete in global markets against rivals Volvo and Daimler – both of which have U.S. truck operations as well.

Observers believe North America will be included in these worldwide efforts. There are already some cross-Atlantic ties. Navistar shares engineering and engine development with MAN, Cummins with Scania. Rumors have long circulated that VW wants to buy a U.S. truck maker, such as Navistar or even Paccar.

"We can now take the next logical and consistent step in our strategy to strengthen the operating integration of Scania, MAN and VW commercial vehicles," said Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn at VW's annual shareholder meeting in Hanover, Germany.

Another big step was the recent hiring of Andreas Renschler to head the VW Truck Group. Before, for almost 10 years, Renschler was at the helm of Daimler Commercial Vehicles. With Daimler Trucks North America holding the market share leader position in the U.S., Renschler has valuable experience with the commercial truck market here.

Europe's biggest automotive group, VW has the financial muscles to replicate in trucks the success of its multi-brand strategy in passenger cars.

The VW-led alliance aims to deepen cooperation in areas including drivetrains, chassis and electronics. Because VW's commercial vehicle experience is primarily with cargo vans, it needs the heavy-truck muscle of MAN and Scania, especially Scania's expertise in advanced technology and top production skills and its high-end brand reputation.

So who is Scania?

Employing some 41,000 people, Scania operates in more than 100 countries throughout the world. It is a leading manufacturer of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications and of industrial and marine engines. The company already sells engines in the U.S. for boats and for construction, agriculture and stationary equipment.

In 2013, net sales totaled SEK 86.8 billion ($13.10 billion) and net income amounted to SEK 6.2 billion (almost $1 million). Like Paccar in the U.S., Scania has a history of consistently showing profits.

On the technical front, Scania has a long-established cooperation with America’s Cummins on fuel injection technology like XPI.

Production takes place in Europe and South America, with facilities for global interchange of both components and complete vehicles. There are production facilities in Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Russia, Brazil and Argentina. Scania also has assembly operations in another 10 countries, operating in Africa, Asia and Australia.

Scania’s product range is based on a unique modular system that allows a large variety of truck models to be built using a limited number of components and sub-assemblies. Some are also shared between trucks and buses. Scania’s production methods and environmental standards are the same the world over. Models and components are interchangeable between factories and continents.

In theory, using far fewer than 20,000 components, Scania can produce almost 2 billion variants.

During its 120 years of operation, Scania has built 1.6 million trucks and buses, of which more than 600,000 are considered to still be in regular operation. The company’s millionth truck was built in 2002.

Only V-8 diesel meeting Euro 6

Today, Scania is the only manufacturer to offer V-8 truck engines that live up to the Euro 6 emissions standards, in 520, 580, and 730 horsepower versions. Euro 6 standards are similar to EPA 2010 standards in the U.S.

This 16.4-liter V-8 engine was launched in 2000 as a completely new design, based on the unit cylinder use in all Scania engines for 9-, 12-, 13- and 16-liter engines.

Scania has long been known for its powerful V-8 engines. Its first was introduced in 1969. The 14-liter with 350 horsepower at the time was Europe's most powerful truck engine – a title this engine kept for many years.

As early as the summer of 2011, Scania let the press test-drive engines meeting Euro 6 requirements. The 13-liter, in-line six-cylinder engines with 440 and 480 horsepower were ready two and a half years before the standard took effect at the start of 2014. The 520- and 580-horsepower models followed by late summer 2013 and the 730-horsepower debuted in early winter 2013.

How it started

In 1911, two companies named Vabis and Scania merged to form Scania-Vabis.

Scania can be described as one of the pioneers in the European vehicle industry, as its roots go back to 1891.

Scania started with the production of bicycles and extended its operations to automobiles in the early 1900s. Its first truck appeared in 1902 and carried 1.5 tons of cargo. It was equipped with a 2-cylinder engine with 12 horsepower, placed under the driver’s seat. Scania was named after the Latin word for the province where it was located, "Skåne."

Vabis (a Swedish acronym) was a manufacturing company founded in 1891 to produce railway carriages. It produced its first automobile in 1897 and then went for commercial vehicles. In 1902 Vabis built its first truck. It had a 2-cylinder, 12-horsepower engine and 1.5 ton-payload. Top speed was 12 km/hour, which was twice the speed of the ordinary trot of a work horse.

The new combined company produced cars, complete buses, trucks, and special vehicles such as fire engines. Production of bicycles and railway carriages was discontinued.

There are more then a few running around here in Jersey! They came out of Franks GMC and truck Center in Lyndhurst NJ, all I can say is that you can't pry the Euro owner drivers out a them!! The love there Scania and will not part with them! I think Franks still can get parts for them
