I think a lot of that has to do with what is being sent.
Is it's something relatively small with little value,there probably isnt much of a difference in shipping costs.
But if its something that might have a greater value that has to be declared then customs fees are applied.

How much value would a "used" boot be worth to customs?

I bet you could make the truck one work.

Here's a place in Michigan - maybe you can have a Toronto ally step over the border for you. It's the 68-72 variant with three fasteners.

Just a tip from experiance, those F-body ones (like the one in the Speedway link) don't match up with the OE mount holes & have a more rigid angle that leads to quicker wear out/failure. I used one when I first did the 4 speed conversion & it didn't last. Square body boots are close but the upper rods are a bigger diameter so rod sealing will need to be addressed.

I went to my local Chevy dealer this morning and sure enough that item is discontinued.
