How much would these things be worth in the states? I've recently given serious thought to importing Troopy's from Aussie and selling them here in the states after I do all the leg work and get them registered and probably fully painted. I don't think I would do a full resto, just make sure it runs well, paint interior, exterior, frame, and add new tires/rims and a winch. I would obviously have to mark it up to cover the expense of traveling to Australia, shipping them back, paying the DOT fees and getting them registered.

What you are likely to find is that most people on this board would rather have an unmolested truck to paint/modify/restore to their own taste. A good business model in my view would be to find/import some decent rigs, sort out the paperwork for the US, and let the new owners have fun with the rest. There are a few who do this already from OZ, and decent rigs are not always easy to find. You really would have to be embedded over there for some time to be sure that you are not getting ripped off, and can make a decent profit.
