Looking back

It's funny how many views this thread triggered. And only one comment, although informative, that made me feel I had made one step in the wrong direction. Since then, Chrysler went into bankruptcy along with GM, not before depleting the parts warehouses in Eastern Canada. Then, there was the tsunami in Japan that forced the closure of assembly lines right here in North America and surely sidelined some used vehicles still under warranty. In another line of business, and more recently, there was the flooding in Thailand that has at least one owner of an IT business banging his head on the wall because of the shortage/substantial price increase on hard drives. This got me thinking that the next trucks we will be trying to keep running will be the 2000 production decade, and then the 2010 production decade, and so on. The reason many of the older trucks are still on the road today is because some older/deceased folks had the foresight to set aside parts trucks/parts/tooling, etc.
