Scot Trucks were a Canadian truck brand produced from 1972 to 1980 by Atlantic Truck Manufacturing, a subsidiary of J.D. Irving Limited. Though their total production reached only 1,155 units, they were a familiar sight in eastern Canada.
Initially, Scot Trucks used Ford Louisville cabs and fiberglass hoods sourced from Abco (Atlantic Bridge Co.). By 1977, they began designing and producing their own cabs, offering both conventional and cab-over-engine (COE) models. About 25% of their production was sold as chassis for fire apparatus, and they also built off-highway trucks for the logging and mining industry.
Scot C1FD cabover chassis were used by various fire departments across Canada with bodies by King-Seagrave Ltd., Pierreville Fire Trucks and Pierre Thibault (Canada) Ltd.. CDN Research used Scot chassis to build CFR trucks for export to Iran, Iraq and Venezuela. Two originally destined for Iran were used at Canadian airports.
By the end of the 1970s, the tax advantages to truck assembly had disappeared and Scot ceased production in 1980.
