Looking for a J-Series/M715 in Canada-where to look?
I'm looking for either a J10/J20 Thriftside or M715, and I've found plenty of them kicking around in the States. However, I'm in the Yukon, and just getting to the border is a 2-day drive, let alone getting down actually into the states-that's a long way to drag a 30-year-old truck, let alone drive one.

Anybody on the boards know a good place to look for J-trucks in Canada? Or, even Alaska-that's still a ways but better then the mainland states.

Not off the top of my head. Jtrucks were pretty few and far between up there and the salt did them no favors. I'm taking an '83 J10 longbox up to my son in Hope, BC to use for parts for his LPG powered rig.

well problem with the m715 is we did not have them here so they are rare and the j10/20s are well rotted out... I know of one thriftside in Canada and that customer of mine had to bug the owner for 10 years to before he could buy it... he now is going to buy a auto from me nad switch over from the 4 speed as he needs a rest from manual tranny..
Now with that being said I may have just what your looking for.. its an 82 j10 long box... one owner that I am picking up at the end of aug when the owner returns from vacation.. it has had a cap on it sence the day it was taken off the lot. truck is in realy nice shape, 4 speed, 258 that was just all rebuilt over the winter, truck has 141,000 kilometers on it.... now I am in NB but, my wife and I wanted to go out to BC sometime before summers end to visit friends that we have not see in years. (we use to live in BC) I would be more then happy to drive the truck out to BC and then i could meet up with my wife and baby girl. ( I would send them out on a plane..
its a 5day stright drive so I could be their in 7 day.. let me know what you think.. I would do this for the right price... I know I can get $3000.oo here for the truck. if you wanted to work something out let me know..
I do not have pic's of the truck at this time but I will be up by it next week nad would be more then happy to take some pics and send them to you...
