    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    Drove up and bought that 78 BJ40 for my buddy today in Iraq. Figured I would post a couple pics 120,000 Kilometers, I didn't think that was to bad? It smoked a little, but I took it for a drive and seem to get a little better. Shifted through all the gears, hi/low range works, 4...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    I am pretty familiar with Gozzard's stuff, I used his product on my 40 that I finished a couple years ago. Pics on my site of my rig and build http://www.crustycruisers.com/matt.htm I agree, extremely nice stuff. I'm pretty sure that's what he is leaning towards. In fact, he's posted...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    I don't think he's buying it to drag trailers around the US or anything like that, so big performance #'s aren't a huge issue. I think his main reason(s) for buying this particular cruiser is because the fact that it is a Diesel. Sometimes it's fun to be different, we don't have those...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    When I spoke to the border guy this morning he told me Canadian vehicles have a registration card, not a title. I'm trying to argue, just repeating what he said. He just said it wasn't required to bring this vehicle across. Matt

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    Yea that's what I thought? I work kinda in a highly visable public retail position locally and I know the people I'm talking to, gotten to know them over the years, so that probably helps? I'm expecting a POS. Assuming everything goes as planned hopefully I can post some pics Saturday...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    I asked, he said he got the rig from his brother years ago and he got it from some guy up in the Yukon. He had no idea where that would be? I did how ever since my last post call the DMV and the border patrol 9 miles north of me. Border patrol said they didn't need a title or...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    I guess I don't know the seller that well, more or less stumbled across it because mutal people knew I was into cruisers and they knew this guy had one. He's an older farmer/logger just north of the border. After talking to him he seems like a straight shooter. I knew about the 25 year...

    1978 BJ40/42 - Buying one from Canada, anything to look for?

    First time in the international section, but figured this would be the place for this question(s). A young man that used to work for me who is currently a pilot flying Chinnook helicopters in Iraq emailed me a couple days ago. He is looking for a project cruiser to work on when he gets...
