How do you find these? Seems to me wherever I look, I don't see prices in that range!!!

You can probably get them hauled by a car hauler cheaper than you can go pick them up. I threw a haul out on the internet and the car haulers almost blew my phone up calling wanting the haul. It was a 1000 mile haul to haul a dually for $600.00. Times are tough and they want the work. Just something to think about if you need a truck hauled to ya.

Hey Bouts, so am I. I've got trucks in various stages and not one is from here, all U.S trucks. Two crew cabs, my 92 single cab, 4x4 with the getrag and one parts truck (92). The crews did have some rust on the floors due to the stinkin' rubber floor mats, but none anywhere else.

It's not that big of a hassle crossing the border, if you know the process; Bill of Sale, Title and proof of advertisement makes it easy on you at the border. Title has to be at the U.S border crossing of choice 72 hours in advance.

Even with the exchange you should still be able to get a rust free rig out of the U.S. Hey, if you wait my 92 will be for sale when my crew gets done (yes Mods, shameless plug for a member)

I just purchased a '92 250 Club cab LE 4X4 with 86,000 original miles. The interior is like new, ans so is the bed. The clear coat is coming off of the hood and some on the roof, but other than that in great shape. I saw it on a dealers lot a few weeks ago and they were asking $7,900 for it. I offered $6,000 and they came back with $6,200, which is about what it booked at.
