Blazer for snow plowing?
Just ended up in a deal which could change my plow plan. Was in process of moving the snow plow to a 88 one ton crew 4 speed, 454, 456 ratio. Would be long with how far the plow sticks out.
In this deal I ended up with: -a 1/2 square auto, 4x4, good motor, good canopy -A blazer, auto, 6 bolt wheels, motor started to be removed, older winch, manual boat lift, part of propane set up and a Detroit locker, dash apart; -A cab with the high buckets. I got all this for $500. I ended up in this deal as I was looking for a $500 -900 motor for another square and a friend arrange this, had 5 min. to decide. Would it be worth it to use the blazer as the plow truck, I have a fairly large Arctic plow. Are the Blazers with 6 bolt wheels a heavier set up or did they all have 6 bolts. Will a auto hold up for the plowing? Thanks |

Re: Blazer for snow plowing?
Lots of people have plowed with Blazers since they came out. An 8 ft plow may be a little too heavy though. New leaf springs would solve that issue.

Re: Blazer for snow plowing?
I have used blazers for plowing but a 6 ft blade no issues great turning radius

Re: Blazer for snow plowing?
If plowing anything other than. A driveway, I'd use a blazer for sure

Re: Blazer for snow plowing?
The small turning radius was the idea, just figured out it is a 77 and has duel fuel, not sure how that works or if all the parts are there. Starting to look like a bigger project than can be completed before snow fall or longer. More projects than time, need to prioritize, septic tank and well are at the top of the list at the moment. Would of liked to use the locker on something. oh well
