Finally installed my ORD HD front shackles. Luckily all the hardware cooperated. The frame side bushings were definitely shot.

Thinking about changing up the front end again. I need a front receiver for my winch and want to make a jib pole. Easiest way to mount that I can figure is off the plow frame I took off.
I never liked how the frame pushed the factory bumper out. It never looked quite right. I’ve got an old piece of c-channel that happens to be the right width I’m looking at using for a bumper. I can also mount my receiver to it and some shackles. |

I made a mini jib pole for the rear. It comes in handy.

Re: Minnesota Daily Driver
Bumper will look tough. I also hate how this vintage Meyer mount shoves the bumper out. My plow will actually contact the bumper if I’m pushing snow with it hard over. Might be worth checking clearance on that channel.

I’ll have to check the clearance. I could probably chamfer the bottom corners of the channel if needed. |

Not a lot new. Just been using as a second truck.
Decided to change up the steps. |
Re: Minnesota Daily Driver
Looks good do they bolt to the pinch weld or the frame?
|
Re: Minnesota Daily Driver
They mount to the front cab mounts and by the rear spring hanger to the frame.
Good thing I took care of the body mounts earlier this year. |

So funny, thought it was black until the last picture in the sun. Like it with a canopy on there.
I went back through your thread and realized that you initially got this truck just for the plow. And then with the work you and your dad put into it, it's turned into a really nice rig. |

Thanks! Never anticipated how far the build would go when I got it. |

Hell of a lot of elbow grease. Cheers from a fellow Indian Bronze Minnesotan.

Always fun doing truck stuff. It’s that time again to store the toon for the season. Used the front hitch to move it into the shed.
