Personally, I like the solid prairie trucks or I really love the southern ones. Whenever I am out in Alberta or Saskatchewan I am always watching the horizon for farm chevy's/GMC's....and there seem to be quite a few, compared to here.
As well, the 'local' trucks usually are pretty sparse on options and a lot are 3/4 tons. A ps/pb/auto truck with lower trim is often called 'fully optioned' by some of the locals.......which I don't quite get.
Do you have a shipper lined up? To bad I wasn't coming out to visit my inlaws in Regina....I could have picked it up for you
All good

I forgot about the salt water. I've looked at a few Califoria trucks that have been close to the ocean since new and they rust in the funniest places. I do have a local shipper lined up that will bring the truck right to Saskatoon in Bond so I can deal with the Customs Office here. As far as trucks go around here most are 6's with granny 4 speeds and if do find a p/s p/b 350 one that is decent they usuallyy have Barrett-Jackson fever if they decide to sell it. The other thing is there seem to be more GMC's than Chevs around here. I plan to sell this one locally when I get it and will be asking 8500.
