Exactly what it says folks. If i wanted to purchase a bagged and bodydropped or stfbdropped
chevy 1/2 ton and bring it over from the U.S to Canada there are numerous gates to open. I would have to get a safety inspection foremost. What im wondering maybe not so much about the bags but when they get this thing on a lift and they see the frame has been z'd and underneath the rails have been boxed in and etc etc etc is things gonna go awry. This quesion maybe based more so to the Canucks here who have had an experience bringing over a custom show truck. A guy would hate to get it here and they wont let you put insurance on it to drive, even if the work was done in the safest best possibly way.If it was just a normal chevy then hey maybe a tie rod or ball joint but its a different can of worms with drops and cuts etc etc. Can anyone with experience that has brought something like this into canada tell me what to do or think?
