Think of how many people you could help pull out in the winter time!
Seems like a no brainier to buy one of these, could haul a smart car around so you dont have to worry about getting it stuck.
 
Throw a snowplow on the front, and start your own part time business! Also great for moose hunting! IIRC some of these have weird spark plugs Etc. that may be hard to source.

Where can I source one for 10,000? I have been looking around for minty ones,OshKosh equipment out of the states have overhauled and in what seems to be amazing shape in the $20,000 to 35,000 US. Add transport, duty, GST and out of province inspection this becomes quite pricey!
Looking for one of these in very good shape or better, prefer a Cummins.

drive it home, no duty as us made

Also, the 6x6 needs a CDL (class 3) in most provinces afaik.

The early trucks were gas, and had shielded ignition for radio suppression as well as water proof for fording purposes. By the mid 60s, any further production was pretty much all diesel. The shielded plugs are available, but not at your Canadian tire store. The plugs will run from $6 to $15 each. The same plugs were used in the Jeeps, the dodge 3/4 tons, and the 5 ton gas 6X6, amongst others.

Canada had started to dispose of it's 1983 vintage 6X6s in the last year or so, but then sales kind of halted. They were sold as salvage though, so you might have to pull a fast one to get them on the road again. Ours were powered by the GM 8.2l engine, and an allison transmission, a very reliable combination. Some have hydraulic winches on them as well, and a few of the long wheelbase ones have wajax cranes.

Prefair surplus in Montreal was reselling the trucks for around $3,500 each.
