I'm from Canada. It came from a closed mine and hadn't seen much use. I can't remember how many mining trucks I looked over before I found this one. The only thing was the dented up hood, fenders and doors and a major dirt build up. The cab metal was just about mint. I have new doors(with glass and panels), hood, fenders, glass and all trims. It only had 2600 km on it. The box is off a new '09 that was converted into an ambulance in Europe.

There is a nice one for sale out in new brunswick - only 22,000 for it and that is a great deal.. If I had the money I would buy it.

Good Lord! My dream vehicle. I want one and will have one even if I cant drive it on the public road. Someone let me know how I can get one to restore like this.

So close to getting it done. Outside is complete except rear bumper, running boards, winch, shocks and wipers.
Would have had the interior complete except the new floor liners come in two pieces and I was only sent the front piece. Will post interior pics when it is complete.

No air conditioning, or second tank. I was going to add the second tank at some point later on but I don't know about the air, only need it one or two days a year in Alberta.
