Doowop doowop doowop

Freshened up the plow truck for winter work.

We added chrome hubcaps and a tailgate with chrome trim.

Yes I know the rear hubcaps are the wrong vintage, but they were shinier than my OE ones

**Smitty** · 11-25-2006, 09:14 PM

What is that contraption on the front of the vintage truck?

Southedisto · 11-25-2006, 09:35 PM

Real trucks have four headlights!

stllookn · 11-25-2006, 09:49 PM

Now THAT is a work truck!

I wish my plow truck still ran,and its supposed to snow next week.Oh well,I dont think the plow will work with the new 6 inch lift anyway...

sleepyboy · 11-25-2006, 10:46 PM

Love a work truck. A little armor-all and you will be ready for the show circuit.

Brad · 11-25-2006, 10:50 PM

That is sweet! I'd love to see that in action!

Bob Moore · 11-25-2006, 11:28 PM

All I can say is I'm glad we don't need plow trucks around here.

Looks cool - Bob

We took a fall driving vacation through Vermont, New Hampshire, Upstate New York and Massachusetts a couple of years ago. I was amazed out how many trucks were set up for plows. Beautiful place to visit, but when the snow flies I would rather be back in the rain of the Northwest.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-26-2006, 12:13 AM

We don't even know what to call them their front thingy's around here

PanelDeland · 11-26-2006, 12:16 AM

It might work if the snow was really, really deep.....

I love to see an old work horse like that being used like it was meant to be....

JAKES 68GMC · 11-27-2006, 05:06 PM

I wish I could have gotten to plow snow with my truck, that would have been wicked fun.

You do now......

I blame this thread for our snow...and me for saying we only get rain.

It cleared off today, but they are calling for more snow tomorrow night. Rain by the weekend...crossing fingers. Here is a shot of the road behind our house, and a shot from the road looking at at the trees in our back yard. I know this isnt anything to our east coast friends...just super rare here. Anyone got a plow I can borrow?

**Canadian694x4** · 11-29-2006, 02:21 AM

Sweet CPNE!! Keep treatin' the 'ol girl and hopefully she'll run forever! If you ever decide to part with it I'll certainly give it a home (and plenty of work to do too!)

Here are a couple of "action" shots just for fun. Imagine the possibilities

My dad and grandpa share a plow truck, a '78 powerwagon with a 318 and 4 speed. There was basically no body left, but the heater, wipers, and 4wd worked and it was a blast to plow snow with. My dad put dual glasspacks on it that stopped about 2 feet behind the cab, it sounded awesome
