In manitoba, military vehicles are insurable as antiques if they are 25 years or older. It does restrict the useage to parades, displays, or to maintenenace facilities but it is very cheap and it also negates the requirement for a safety. However, you do need the appropriate class of licence for the vehicle you are operating. If it has a third axle, you need class 3 or higher. If it has air brakes, you need that endorsement. If it is a trailer with a steering axle, you need class one to tow it.
With all the Asian produced parts these days, I think the parts suppliers should be looked at a bit closer, but for all vehicles. I have seen some real junk out there, and a lot of counterfieting of packaging to make the parts look like they are OEM.
