j hancock Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 A couple people I know had Scanias and they did pretty well. All had smaller motors. A couple were in Mack R400 series trucks.Parts avalibilty for the Scania can be tough but then again even getting parts for R models now can be tough.

gearhead204 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 we had several at the local redi-mix plant in town latter came across another in a dm these would have been early 70's vintage trucks. they were decent engines, just not power houses.

theakerstwo Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I remember a fleet of mixers with the engine in B models. They were not turboed.These trucks had the small quad trans and wedge brakes.

jeffmackb Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) END-475 is a Mack and an END-465 is a Scania, IIRC.Correction to the above, END 475 is the Scania, and END 465 is the Mack.
