Hey! That looks familiar :) That's a pic of Dad's 77 from about 18 years ago.

Here's a couple more pics, one taken back in the mid/late 90's and a more recent one from a few years ago.

rare item on the front of that truck . the truck has a fisher snow plow frame and in this picture has the summer time PLOW MATE push bar on the front . you unbolt the upper headgear and bolt this on during the off season .

fisher didnt make a lot of these and there super hard to find and even in picture form hard to find . years ago i found a brand new n.o.s. unit on ebay and still use it to this day . and its almost time for mine to go on the truck for the off season .

here is my front end with the lift frame and the push mate . mid 80's cucv brush guard also in the mix . all on my k30 truck .

The owner is above. Latest photo does not show this item. Wonder if he still has it?

Cool thread. Thought I would post some of my little brown truck back when the original owner had it.

And here is a pic from 1998. My very first truck! 1973 C/20 Custom. Bare bones and UGLY! Haha. You know what's weird? I still remember the VIN: CCY243Z136724. For some reason, I have never forgotten it! If this truck is still alive and someone has it, let me know!

Yes, Dad still has that plow mate push bar but hasn't used it for the past 15 or so years. We gave the '77 a complete restoration around that time and transferred all of the snow plow equipment over to a rusty beat up yard truck. The plow stays on that truck year round so the push bar has just been sitting in the storage shed.

Good luck finding the truck! Perhaps someone w/ proper access to a database could run the VIN and help you out. I’ve seen it done before for people tracking down a previously owned vehicle. Some w/ success and others not happy w/ the condition of the vehicle once located.
