And shipping it from the SW explains how such a solid truck survived in NY. It didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Most of any plastic how ever is turned to dust. Yep, that is the tradeoff. The plastic back then, and maybe even today, wasn't UV tolerant so it becomes hard as the plasticizer evaporates. Actually the best place for buying these trucks is up in Dane/Grumpin's area, the Pacific Northwest. They don't use salt on the roads but also don't seem to have the intense sun of the SW.
