Nicest Detroit area classic snow plow truck
Work travel required me to travel to my old stomping grounds of the armpit of the planet this week (Detroit area) where I was able to meet up with an ole buddy while I was in town. Tom worked with my wife at an automotive manufacturer parts supplier years ago when we lived in Detroit and became like an uncle to us when we were youngans out of collage and 1800 miles away from our real family.
Anyway, here is his exceptionally clean Victory Red 1985 K20 he uses to plow snow in the Detroit area. I absolutely can’t believe how clean and rust free this truck is for being a Michigan native snow plow truck. Heck, my rust free Colorado native 78' was an attention getter back in 1997 when I lived there. It is amazing this Michigan native 1985 native truck is still alive! Tom bought it a couple years ago as a plow truck from the original owner who babied it to death. He still bathes the truck after each snow plowing job at home in his garage to clean off any traces of salt. Absolutely amazing as plastic will rust in Michigan! BTW....This weekend is the famous Woodward Dream Cruise! I wish I could stick around town for that as it has been 9 years since I was able to attend. (Detroit is still a nice place to leave...not LIVE )
