Hey 3300, In the mid '70’s there was a fuss, because of a Swedish driver who had changed the 4 in an 8 of an LB85/80
on his grille. Quickly it went one’s rounds that it was a trial truck for a new engine, and lot’s in that timedidn’t know
what it meant 80/110 or 140. They only believed that it was gowing up as it did before as the 71/75/76/110 etc…
And so several mimic him by doing the same. Even at that moment there was the talk of Volvo which
would put Scania’s LB cab on the F89 and Scania which would replace its bonneted trucks with Volvo’s new bonneted
cab of the N10/12, and so it went on talking about the Scania LB180, Volvo’s F90.
