what about rust

John C · 04-27-2005, 02:59 PM

hehehe

I know there were problems with the tranny, find out if it has been replace, check for oil/power steering leaks, check under the rubber mats.... just a few things to check.

if theres anyone in the montreal area that would like to make some $$$$$$ looking over it when i go there that would be interesting..........

Make sure it's a NAS spec truck or you won't be able to buy it and bring it into the US. Oh yeah, look for rust in the bulkhead outriggers, door frames, rear cross member, bulkhead, and just about every other steel part.

kenny kustom · 04-28-2005, 07:24 PM

dont wanna bring it into the states..... its serial number cdn13. i live in canada.

TerryS · 04-29-2005, 03:50 AM

CDN 013 is an NAS spec, and you could always sell it to someone in the states, but hey, If you're up in Manitoba, why settle for a 90 when you can get a nice 110? Canada has the fifteen year law, as opposed to our 25 year law, so you could even import one as new as 1990. There are some really good deals on ex Canadian Military 110s also. Keep in mind, last time I heard, Montreal still used salt, andall 90s are prone to tinworm.

John C · 04-29-2005, 05:07 AM

Kenny, just curious, how much do D90s go for in Canada?

That's a nice looking truck.

The ex-mod trucks come out of Alberta, for private sales check www.roverlanders.bc.ca and www.lrx.com they usually show up there. There are also a few companies that import some nice examples www.rock-island-rovers.com just got a nice looking TD 90 in.
