Its call money. The trucks out in Ont. are pretty rusted. So guys come out here because our trucks survive better and less rust. They will pay good cash for them here compared to what people here will pay for them.
Thats why I have been advertising some of my unwanted vehicle in Alta and Ont. I have sold stuff for a better price than I would get here.
Those looked like decent trucks and glad someone is going to fix them to stay on the road.

I MET GUYS THAT IS THIER BUSINESS THEY DO. COME FROM ONTARIO WITH TRUCKS AND TRAILERS AND THEY CHECK THE WEB SITES OR PAPERS AND GO TO fARM AUCTIONS AND PICK UP THESE CARS AND TRUCKS THAT ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE WITH LITTLE OR NO RUST AND TAKE THEM BACK TO ONTARIO AND SELL THEM FOR A PROFIT. IF YOU LOOK IN THE ANTIQUE AUTOTRADER YOU WILL SEE GUYS SELLING UNRESTORED CARS FOR 1000'S. THEY SAY THE CARS ARE FROM ARIZONA AND STUFF, BUT THEY ARE CARS BOUGHT FROM OUT HERE OR JUST OVER THE BORDER. THEY MAKE GOOD MONEY AT IT BECAUS ETHE DEMAND FOR CARS AND TRUCKS IN GOOD RESTORABLE CONDITIONS OUT THERE.
