Snowblower on a pickup truck?

So thought up a contraption while at work the pther day, snow blower mounted on the front of a pickup. Heres how i think i could make it work, simple, i think. Use the pto hole on a sm465 transmission and run a pto shaft to the front of the truck and run the shaft to a blower. I was thinking the blower could be take off of a tractor. For the up and down on the blower you could use an electric or hydraulic winch (also driven off the pto), and to control the chute you could have an electric motor with a worm gear to control where it blows the snow..
How does a transmission pto compare to a tractor pto in rpm, would a truck pto have enough speed to turn the blower?
Or am i insane and scrap the whole idea...
For the record i will probably never build this but.. Is it possible?
