I know absolutely nothing about Canada, so I dont know where this is in comparison to where you live, but its a good deal. A real good deal.

MY opinion is to buy a newer style and buy a nice one with the money then have the excitement of building as you go. Then it wont get boring.

1002?
I bought mine with a 4.5 RE lift, rear ARB,4.56's, chromoly axles out back, a ton of new parts in the boxes, OBA never installed, wheels, magnaflow exhaust, etc, etc, etc. for $3000
Granted the body was rough, not rusted, but dented and banged up, had primer sprayed all over it, so I tore it apart and painted it for $400.
It's been a fun project to build over the winter and I've had a blast wheeling with it.
Use search engines. I used Search Tempest, and site mash along with CL and Ebay, etc. Found it 200+ miles away, drove down, pulled the trigger and drove it home.
Good luck, have fun looking and do a lot of research so you know what to look for.
I probably have about $5k in mine. I bought some 34 LTB's, a used front ARB, etc.
