In the following example, can I use the truck, it, and one interchangeably? Are they all correct?
Yesterday my friend told me someone had parked a truck in our playground but when I got there I could not see the truck.

Answer
In that context, yes, you could use any of the three.
Repeating "the truck" is the least likely, but it is still possible.
"One" says that you could not see any trucks there; "it" says that you could not see the particular truck, but leaves open that there might have been other trucks there.
