The Volvo F84/F85/F86 was a series of medium size trucks produced by Swedish automaker Volvo between 1965 and 1979.
Volvo presented the forward control Raske Tiptop with a tilting cab in 1962. When Volvo introduced its "System 8" in 1965 the truck got a new, bigger engine and was renamed F85.[2] Between 1968 and 1974 Volvo offered a budget version called F84 without power steering and with reduced payload.
In 1976 Volvo upgraded the truck and renamed it F85S. The S-version had a bigger engine and a more comfortable cab.[2]
In 1964 Volvo had mounted the forward control cab from Raske Tiptop on its Viking model. When Volvo introduced its "System 8" the following year, the truck was renamed F86.[3] The changes, however, were more extensive than that and included a new engine, a new eight-speed gear box and a general updating of most of the components. The F86 was also assembled in Scotland, for sales in the British Isles.[3]
Modernization of the truck in 1973 included a new plastic radiator grille. In 1976 the driver's work place was improved with a more comfortable cab.[3]
