So my question is, what was the average lifespan of trucks built in the 60’s and 70’s?

Perhaps the answer to that question is, in part, what do you call a lorry? Is it its chassis? Its engine and gearbox? Its cab? If you change one or more of its parts, is it still the same wagon?

I suppose what I’m suggesting is that in previous times, engines/ axles/ gearboxes/ cabs were easier to remove/ recondition/ replace than is the case now.

I’m not sure I’ve answered your question, so I should probably shut up.

Sounds like Trigger :laughing:
