How Many Plow Truck Owner's on Here? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toomanytoyz · 11-07-2008, 06:19 PM

Started getting my Truck ready for the Season & Wondered how Many Owner's might we have Here..........

Here is my Beater, It is a 89 Body on a 85 3/4 Ton frame.

Nice. I'm wanting a plow of my own. Never seem to find one close enough or reasonable enough though.

thirdstreettito · 11-08-2008, 01:33 AM

My uncle has a 96 F350 Powerjoke Plow truck and an 80-87 3/4 6.2L plow truck.

Not enough snow here for one. I'd just use the Massey Ferg.

Dooley · 11-08-2008, 03:14 AM

Been plowing since 1979. Have had plows on 3 Chevys. A K30 dually pickup, K10 Suburban, and K10 pickup. The Suburban was handiest at handling the 8.5 Western Pro Plow. Retiring the K10 pickup now and picking up the pieces to mount one on the CUCV. I do have one other plow.

Bonus info.....The tailgate on my K10 is blue and the hood doesn't match any of the other visible colors either! Lol...

**special-K** · 11-08-2008, 08:12 AM

Hey Dooley,which north coast do you live on?Man,that CUCV will make a great snow pusher.
Rick,I love what you did there.That`s a great truck!I`ve never headr of anyone doing that swap(amazingly) and always wondered about that since I bought my`92 new.hmmm...

I got out of it.But,Here`s my old rig.It was my daily driver/work truck.I used to pull the side boxes during plow season.

Dooley · 11-08-2008, 11:57 AM

That solid axle under Rick's truck looks right at home there!
Special K , your truck looked better as a pickup with the larger wheels/tires but, likely more useful with the service bed.
I'm gathering the pieces for a Unimount for the CUCV so that I will not have to bother the front bumper and grille guard. We get a lot of snow on the south side of the lake here!

sdkid · 11-08-2008, 02:07 PM

I'm told the cucv's are rather affordable. Is this true? Where do one go for purchase?

abebummy26 · 11-08-2008, 05:09 PM

Special k is that your Napco?

**special-K** · 11-08-2008, 06:17 PM

No,that was another truck.I`ve had three K/20s that color.Those last two pictures were taken just before I tore it down.I always ran 14.50/37 Armstrongs:

They can be bought on the cheap side at times from http://www.govliquidation.com/vehicles.html
I bought mine from through a fellow that buys regularly from the GL. That cost me more but, I could see what I was getting beforehand. You can get a lot of information about buying from the GL on http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forum.php Drop down the page to the section dealing with Buying from Government Liquidation.

sdkid · 11-09-2008, 02:16 PM

Thanks Dooley. I'll check into it.

463 · 11-09-2008, 09:55 PM

i just got to Minot nd and it's a mess from the dump of wet snow yesterday and the it froze hard. could use a good plow truck to fix the screwups that were left.

to day

gmcracing92 · 11-09-2008, 10:22 PM

hey 463, ur not kidding. the streets are rough as heck and they need to learn to plow a lil better.

Dooley · 11-10-2008, 05:09 PM

I guess this guy didn't want to rely on the roads being plowed!

70c10 · 11-10-2008, 09:32 PM

Rick and Tim- cool pics

My buddies want me to plow with them this winter but I can't afford to get started. There's a ton of money to be made WHEN it snows.

**special-K** · 11-10-2008, 11:11 PM

Yeah.When I was doing it I was doing it by contract.I paid for my plow plus $400 in two snowfalls.That was all we had that year,but I was good to go.Plus made money spreading urea.We made more that year spreading than plowing.We charged per bag.

I had to get a picture of this today.It`s in front of a Maryland State Roads shop.To those who don`t know,that`s the Maryland flag,designed after Lord Baltimore`s coat of arms.I think it`s a cool design...

**special-K** · 11-12-2008, 07:39 AM

Here`s a neat little rig that was forsale awhile ago:

Dooley · 11-18-2008, 02:37 PM

I picked up an Ultamount with Unimount converter for my CUCV. Now I need the rest of that setup. Here's a CUCV/plow I spotted on another site.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-18-2008, 04:45 PM

My dad uses an early/mid 80's silverado. It's a rusted out POS.

glock35ipsc · 11-18-2008, 07:15 PM

2000 Dakota, 7.5' Western plow. Although I am not the "owner", it belongs to the company I work for, but you still need my permission to drive it!

Dooley · 11-21-2008, 03:29 PM

I'm still looking for a deal on a Unimount or Ultramount Western Plow setup for my CUCV. Along the way I found this plow for $400.00! I might have to get that for my Dump.

JON67 · 11-21-2008, 04:34 PM

This guy does

Dooley · 12-19-2008, 09:07 PM

This plow setup spotted in MD for sale!

Willys47 · 12-19-2008, 09:34 PM

I use my willys to do my driveway It sure beats the hand shovel

**special-K** · 12-20-2008, 09:17 AM

Here`s what I do my driveway with:

Ya think?

Here`s friend`s rig:

I`d like to get another set-up.When I was into it I envisioned a Blazer with a 1/2 cab,spreader on back,and 3/4-1t drivetrain.I`d paint it hiway yellow with a flat black hood surface,mount tall skinnies,and serious lighting.
