I have many stupid questions, but the first is: How difficult would this be to get into the US? (PM sent)

Shouldn't be too hard being that it's over 25 years old, the next question is what state your in.

Sorry, I thought I updated my profile.

I'm in Ohio.

As far as I know for Ohio it wouldn't be a problem, the only state that I know of that would be a problem would be California with their 1975 cut off date.

Should be pretty easy - Google an import broker and call them
I have only done US to Canada but that was as easy as showing the purchase receipt and title to customs, they give you a form and you go get it registered/plated (again this was US to Can but an import broker - or Google - should be able to give you the steps).
What makes it pretty simple is the age of the vehicle so it is normally exempt from most rules and regulations (other than what edzz mentioned re: Cali - must be 1974 or earlier)

Sorry, should have stated this is not my truck.

Just be wary of a Pinz from Quebec (and colder areas of Canada in general) if you buy based on pics alone. Some guys run them all year round and they could be rusted out because of salt. I personally don't run mine in the winter because of this.

Just my .02.

You would pay import duty on it.. And a Pinz may fall into the 25% duty class as a ex-mil truck.

This was what I wondered about. Quickly makes an OK deal really bad. Thanks all!

This truck was listed at $24,900US, which gives you an idea on value....maybe.

You sure about that?
US to Canada I don't pay any duty due to age of vehicle but you may have already done the Canada to US import?

From my quick Google search:
"Federal rules allow any car on U.S. roads 25+ years old to be registered as a “classic”. As such, they are no longer required to meet emissions, crash, or safety standards applied by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) in effect the year they were built.

This rule benefits those looking to import 25+ year old cars from any other country as well. Strictly because of age, any car being imported wouldn’t need to be modified to any standards, as long as headlights work and the vehicle is demonstrated to be roadworthy"

Can't find much on Duty but I am sure it is on the Interweb
EDIT: Bottom of that page ' Classic or antique vehicles are subject to a 2.5% duty rate, which is based on its worth at the time of import.'

Side note: My 1975 was registered in California when I bought it and I had no problem transferring it. California laws are open to interpretation. If you can convince them your 1975 model was built in 1974...

"Dutiable Entry;
Foreign-made vehicles imported into the U.S., whether new or used, either for personal use or for sale, are generally dutiable at the following rates:

Auto 2.5%
Trucks 25%
Motorcycles either free or 2.4%

Duty rates are based on price paid or payable. Most Canadian-made vehicles are duty-free.

As a returning U.S. resident, you may apply your $800 CBP exemption and those of accompanying family members toward the value of the vehicle if it:

Accompanies you on your return;
Is imported for personal use;
Was acquired during the journey from which you are returning.
For CBP purposes, a returning U.S. resident is one who is returning from travel, work, or study abroad.

After the exemption has been applied, a flat duty rate of 3% is applied toward the next $1,000 of the vehicle’s value. remaining amount is dutiable at the regular duty rate."

And if you drive into MY state (VT), be sure the US Customs folks will get EVERY PENNY owed.
