Re: Snow Plow Question
You answer may vary depending upon the manufacturer. My experience is with Fisher plows. The push plates are engineered for the application and unless the 73-87 frames (cab forward) are identical to the 67-72 frame you will have issues. Even if the frame is the same you may still have issues with clearance of bumpers and grille. Obviously some parts are 'generic" such as the valve body, hydrualic pump, cables, and hoses. Engine brackets for the pump vary by engine size, can not answer if short/long water pump altered the bracketry or not. Your best bet is to find a setup for the correct year(s). Better yet, purchase a complete setup already installed. 
Your area seems to use Western plow brand. Someone running that setup may provide a totally different scenerio.
Good luck.
