tjc transport Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago not yet. but the boss is looking at them as the 2000 W900 is getting tired. i am sure once he sees the price he will just repower the W900 though Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Came out pretty nice. I think the Pedigree was about 6500 then. They did a bunch like that Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73230-canadian-scanias/page/2/#findComment-564635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Cummings Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 6 hours ago, 70mackMB said: I think to capture the US market, being it's a high end truck it needs to be more 379 Pete, LTL Ford, Superliner, LT Mack looking. Real front bumper, lose that top bunk, and lose those fairings. Needs to be a bit more rugged looking. The way it is, it gives off curb sniffer vibes. No large fleet is going to buy a 770 HP truck to haul corn flakes and tampons.
