Keep posting, Scandinavian people- your contributions improve the Forum considerably . The 1950s and '60s was the period of fastest progress in vehicle design, and Scania Vabis was the fastest-progressing manufacturer- anyone with an interest in these vehicles has my full attention!
Regarding gearboxes: I have had a look through Bjorn-Eric Lindh’s book and can find reference to two-speed drive axles on 7 and 8 litre vehicles only. The 75 and 76 series "were available with a T2 auxiliary box until April 1964. It mentions the two-stick arrangement on these pre-'64 vehicles, but says the post-'64, planetary splitter option was “operated by a selector button on the gear lever.” I thought the double sticks persisted throughout 76 series production?

wasn,t shore at al about the two speed just a tougt this time.but will remember that at least al76 had the splitterbox mounted separaty from gearbox ,so that could be the reason.what i don.t remember was it twinstick,seems not,but just now read from one of my books that there could have been even 76 scanias whit twospeed axles ,but can still bee wrong ,76 rearaxle was diferent in mine 67 76 then those on the110.trev h maybe remembers?
Hi,
I only saw twin sticks on the LB 76 with the splitter box which was operated by a heavy duty cable, I never saw one with a gearstick mounted button or 2 speed axle. Maybe this was an option on smaller models ? We had 2 types of axle here, single reduction and the heavy duty double reduction. From what I have heard the twin stick arrangement was carried over to the very first 110’s but I never saw one but a few people have confirmed they existed.

Our last 76’s here was 1968, that year all our apprenticies were sent to Sodertalje to train on the 110 model and received a Swedish Baco toolset, I missed this by 6months but as the 110 was not much different mechanically to the 76 I soon learnt.
I think the planetry section of the splitter box was almost the same as the 76 but operated by cable/air valve, quicker shift than the twinstick this could often be too quick for the syncromesh and cause premature failure on the planetry section, I changed quite a few sat on my backside in the snow at the side of the road but I was young and foolish then !
Anyone remember W parkes ltd from Harlow Essex they used to have a scania Vabis i remember a Shaun vennables driving it think that was back the 70 s sadly few years later he was to die in his Cab i think up the Blanc .R.I.P Shaun. Used to know his son he was Transport Manager for a company in Harlow years later cant remember the name of Co now but his name was also Shaun Venables damm !! the names on the tip of my tounge they had all Scanias and it was mostly all Swiss and some German work.It will come to me later,and No ! not Ukon Trucking

On the picture in the instruction book for LB/LBS76 from 1964 there´s a small handle mounted on the gearstick, and I thought it was for a two speed… but Trev_H put me back on track again
In a brochure from 1968 there´s a proof that the first Scania 110 had two gearsticks
Anyone know where the Batteries were mounted on the LB76 I’ve got some chassis spec sheets but does’nt show where the batteries are!
Would they have been inside the cab?? …Under the passenger seat??

Yes, under the passenger seat as I remember, big batteries they were too fitted with a master switch that had a weird angled key.
