I think your right about buying a truck that has already been imported to Canada. I have seen a few for sale here in Ontario but the cheapest one was $8000 and the other two were around $15K. My guess is that these trucks had been restored. I want unrestored... something that will make a good work truck. I’m not in a big rush at the moment so I think I will just keep my eyes open for either a 67-72 K20 or a CUCV. I will also watch the Canadian Gov. Surplus auctions for some older trucks.
