Plowing snow in Michigan - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can enjoy the trucks all year since I can plow with my 71 in the winter. I am hoping that Junkyard John will see this picture as I am sure he misses the snow.

We don't have near the snow that Jeff has (CPNE) but we got 18" in the last week, (8" today).

Maybe a workin' truck calander? Jim, your '71 would be a shoe-in!

Awesome!!

Is the '71 a 1/2 or 3/4ton?

is that an original plow set up or something that you modified to fit on your truck????

arkracing,

The truck is a 71 K-10. The previous owner had the Meyer plow installed with a home made carriage. The hydraulics are the manual style with two rods for control under the dash. I have been looking for the 12 volt hydraulic package so as to eliminate the pump on the engine, but the setup works pretty well as is, though.

Glad to see another 67-72 4x4 still plowing snow.My 69 K10 had a snow plow on it but I dont think the plow set up will work too good with the new 6 inch lift because we dont get much very deep snow.

Your picture confirms the reason I don't live in Muskegon anymore. I still have a son that lives there with his family and lots of friends but I'll just visit in the summer thank you very much.

I Lived in Michigan for 17 years and I miss the snow. The nice thing about where I live now is I can be in 6 feet of snow in less than an hour from where I live. My son snowboards at Mt. Hood so at least I still get to see the snow. By the way nice truck and its nice to still see an old Chevy with a snow plow on it and functional.
Merry Christmas

Jim you are ahead of me. We just got our first snow last night, 8 inches! Here's how we lay "rocka" here in New Hampsha.

And everybody knows 4 eyes are better for plowing than 2

Jeff,

Nice pictures!

Where do you put all the snow? I start running out of room in early January under normal winters. I cannot imagine pushing all of the snow you have push.
I think my snow plowing would cease to be fun and turn into work!
