I use to work at a truck dealer pre EPA standards (early 1980's) Drilled a lot of frame rails so that the rear end could be mounted into a glider. Done many gliders where the inside of the motor and trans were not touched because they were only a year or two old.
So what would be the point of a factory even offering glider kits way back then if a wreck was totaled and sold as scrap and it predated EPA and DOT rules.
Like I said since mid 2000's gliders have taken on a whole new role to try and side step EPA rules but glider kits originated long before the 2000's. They were originally built to fix wrecked trucks.
So by your standards if I buy a 2019 truck and my driver lays it on its side in the first couple of years (bends frame and crushes cab) I should junk tens of thousands of dollars in the engine trans and rear end that are less than 2 years old. I do not think you realize that most of the cost in a new truck is the motor trans and rear end.
