I took Semlin's advice and looked in the US for an 80 and there are lot's of them around. I then called Canada customs to start the process of understanding how to import. Wow - seems like to much hassle and paper work. Can anybody help me here? Like:
1) How do I insure to get to the border and into canada? Is there something like temp issurance I can get?
2) Sounds like a I need 3 papers Original title, Bill of sale and Recall clearance document. Is the recall document hard to get? All of this gives you an export control document from the US in 3 days
3) Once I have all this I go to the Canada side and file and pay ect....
I guess what I'm wondering is that it takes days to complete. Do I do all this while my truck is sitting in the US? DO I just buy it and then drive to the border with my papers and then wait? Store my truck for a few days? How do I move the vechical around the US before I get back to Canada to insure?
This probably isn't that bad but it would be nice to hear from someone how has gone through it. I hate paperwork and uncertainty.
