Scot truck

showcrop · Jan 4, 2019

Larry's grain truck post made me think of Scot trucks. Has anyone other than the Nova Scotia guys seen one? They were built for only eight years in Nova Scotia by an Irving Co. division. I used to see a lot of them on Route 95 in Maine, painted in the Sunbury Transport black and yellow. The later built ones in 1978-80 had full width cabs, nearly eight feet wide because they used the same cab for conventionals as for cab-overs. They were distinguishable from a mile away due to the wide windshield with a huge visor over it and the huge grill. Production ended in 1980 with fewer than 2,000 ever built. A major share of them apparently traveled Rt. 95 in Maine

They also built fire engine chassis. A very good friend of mine drove one for
several years and said it rode well.

They were nice looking trucks. Living in PEI there were quite a
few on island roads. I had an uncle that ran an Irving tanker
delivering fuel that was a Scott. I?m not sure of the Irving
connection and the name Scott but that?s a paper product
name for them as many know too.

I never had heard of them. Found a piece of literature for them.

I remember seeing several of them in a junk yard in NW New Brunswick many years ago. The were retired log trucks, done up in Irving Woodlands
regalia.
