Re: Plow Truck

I have two trucks as we have a town plowing contract. Last year i had a CUCV squarebody and a 98 GMC K 2500 this year i sold off the square abd got an 06 F350 all of my trucks have been municipal vehicles as they are usually somewhat maintained but rusty I do not salt only plow so i dont run any sanders or anything but my 98 runs a standard meyers plow setup theres a bracket , hoop and the plow attaches to the truck frame and hoop.. in Spring i remove that the ford runs a Fisher minute mount which is expensive unit but i was able to buy surplus stuff from a municipality and it worked well if youre just doing your own stuff the meyer is really good parts are cheap and plentiful and its a simple set up whatever you do you need at least a 2500 4x4 truck manual 4x4 is better and dont plow in overdrive the ford is a diesel the gmc is a 5.7 gas both do the job
