Is it possible (as they weren't a good highway engine) that most got replaced with 235s over the years?

The books are written about US assembled trucks. They are correct.


A whole bunch of 216s have been replaced by 235s in the past 70 some years.

I know nothing about Canadian trucks but if 3B says yours came with a 235, I believe it. He does know them.
