2 of them are on propane. Are there many propane trucks up there?

They are basically nonexistent around here.

Wow Dennis...that first and last look pretty nice especially for the price. I guess the good looking 4x4's are still worth their weight in gold north of the border.

5.0, AFAIK, the propane rigs are popular up there...

The most likely reason they are for sale is the new standars for propane tanks and the cost to replace them to bring them up to code.
Attendants won't fill propane unless the authorization decal is up to date.

You see,the new code does not allow for bedside mount ( Like I have)

The tanks can no longer attach to the bed sides due to possible jarring and loosening the welds of the tank causing a leak or rupture.
They have to mount to the floor of the bed.

The cost of a newer tank is close to $800.00 making it to costly and with the price of propane ( $0.73./litre) hanging around the price of gasoline now it isn't worth it.

There are tons or 4x2's around $600.00 these days

Wow that red one is awesome, a short bed in that condition would fetch around 4K here.

How difficult is it to bring a vehicle from Canada back down into the states?
