Hey guys,


I am in the market for a cummins and I am looking for the 1st gen stuff, so 1989-1993. I am here in ontario and wondering what is the best route to find one of these. Anything local seems to be overpriced and rotten. Although going down south seems to be a lot of time and expense. Anyone know of a good 3/4 ton 4x4 CTD? Or suggestions on where i should be looking?

Thanks

I have seen some on kijiji.ca but they are just the blocks... So if u already got one u could swap it but I guess u are looking for a whole motor not rebuilding one ??
Here is what I am talking about...

Cummins 6BT 5.9L New Complete Long Block - Kitchener Car Parts For Sale - Kijiji Kitchener

Ryan on here told me somewhere local but cannot remember off the top of my head so here is another thread

I agree..... :lol3: I would have bought one if they were any cheaper... And a manual truck is hard to find also....

 

[Callan]

I hate rust... its eiher down south or out to BC. One or the other. Anythig i've seen so far in ontario is rotten. Found one for 5k but definitely needed 1k in body work just to safety it.. not worth it...

 

[Callan]

Down south it was! Just got back the other day with a 93 rust free 4x4 ext cab cummins from Arizona! And I love it! here's a pic! Glad to have the search over with!

[Callan]

Thanks guys and don't worry she's in a good home. Nothing but love here! Definitely going to enjoy the truck.

you live right in ptbo would love to see the truck in person looks like a beauty I'm a sucker for a first gen

I hope your not driving that in the winter

I just bought a shiney new pontiac wave so that I could have a rust free truck, my truck saw it's first and last winter last year. Also if it gets put into the ditch it can become soup cans and I'll get another, mine like your can't be replaced.

 

[Callan]

Definitely don't want to drive it in the winter, but this winter there isn't much choice. Very little driving happens in the winter and I can pick my days. Hopefully something else can come up to drive next year.

Pullin the hard way, be glad to meet up to see the truck. Looks like you have quite a collection i'd like to see. I'll shoot you a PM

 

[Callan]

Yep came to a new conclusion no winter for this baby but a warm spot up top in the barn until the evil salt disappears lol

Dude nice truck...I got mine down in PA from a great guy too..I also have a cottage on Lower Buckhorn right in your area!!

 

[Canadian_Diesel1964]

Also lots of oil underspray does wonders...Nationwide is good if you have it locally but Krown doesnt use enuff...

 

[frmll300]

Nice truck Callan .Did you drive it back? If so, what did you do about license and insurance ?I've thought about buying in the southern States too.

 

[Callan]

Everything i have is krowned every year, i know the shop that does it and the truck drips for weeks afterwards.. lol

Yes I did drive it back, took a total of 39 hours of driving.. lol It was well worth it though believe me. I have never seen a truck so clean. The seller got me a temp permit, (awesome guy by the way!) and i got insurance from my insurance company before I left.

Just make sure if you decide to do it to fax a copy of the title to US customs at least 72 hours ahead of time. If you do the border is a breeze, I was there a total of 15 minutes. I was lucky this truck was 15 years old so no Registrar of Imported Vehicles BS.
