I would always look for a rust free survivor. I know you said transport form US to Canada is a hassle, but I see car sellers advertise on Ebay that they ship to Canada and handle the paperwork. Is it just a matter of filling out the customs documents or does it cost a lot of $$$ to get it through? These trucks are old enough to be in the collector category, so maybe that would help. A lot of Canadians vacation in AZ/TX, etc. in the winter and are buying our discount foreclosed houses here, so maybe some of your countrymen are driving/transporting vehicles back across the border also. I think there are companies that specialize in vehicle importing - both sides of the border. If you start with a rust free grandpa truck I think you will be happier in the long run, even if it costs more $$$ up front. I am guessing a rust free square in Canada is a valuable truck. Of course, if you plan to just have a beater for a few years, disregard what I just typed.
