I had a Snowbear plow on my 1993 3/4 ton diesel lol. 6'10" wide and 19" tall. Glorified shovel! I plowed the whole season with it last year, sometimes in a foot of wet heavy snow. I was damn careful with it, and I never bent or broke anything. ALLLLL PROFIT! lol..This spring, I sold the plow for exactly what I paid for it lol.

It wasn't my intention to bag on it.....I've just never seen one that little. Anyway, it's not the size that matters but how you use it....or so everyone keeps telling me.
On a side note, I'd love to have it in Tulsa. I could show the plow drivers here how it's done.

Yup, Here is my plow truck Just not a diesel,....
I bought the truck 4 years ago from the original owner, Added the plow to it for use on my car lot. It was a very solid truck just minor surface rust, and some damage on the front drivers corner. It drooped down so the previous owner dubbed the truck Droopy,..the name stuck.
It is a 1988 F250 Reg Cab 4x4 5.0 5 speed 355 Open rear end.
The motor had a few issues and the truck needed paint and the damage fixed, so over the summer Ron (DDC) painted it and dropped in a new rebuilt 30 over 5.0 with a towing RV Cam. Along with the motor swap here is a list of other things that we have done to the truck to make it a good dependable plow truck:
New Clutch
Double the width Radiator from a 5.8 truck.
Shorty Headers
Dual Exhaust
K&N Filter
3:55 Limited Slip rear
New Brakes
Bedliner
Diamond plate Bed Rails
SS tie downs
Back up lights on the headache rack and trailer hitch
Switch Panel for all of the lights
Freshly polished Alcoa Aluminum Rims with SS caps with 265 BFG AT's
Wider plowing mirrors.
Rebuilt Plow Setup
Sandblasted and Powder coated Plow and frame
Painted headache rack, bumpers
Undercoated the whole truck
Lighted Lund Visor
4 new Shocks
265 BFG AT's
Add a leaf front 4: Blocks in the rear.
Extra 1100 CCA Industrial Battery in the Tool Box
3G Alternator conversion.
Fuel Pumps:
Here is what we started with:
Here is what it looks like as of Last Saturday:
Rear shot, New back up lights on the trailer hitch wired to the factory lights, Dual Exhaust, New 7 and 4 pin connector form a Super Duty, painted Bumper.
Blasted and painted the Headache Rack, installed new back up plow lights and rewired the flasher. Diamond plate tool box houses the extra battery for the plow.
New Plow Mirrors:
Western Plow setup, freshly blasted and powder coated:
Switch Panel for the plow headlights, low and high beam, Headache rack back up lights and flasher.
Front shot:
I am still going to ad a bumper, It will be a Diesel Bumper from a 96 Stroker.

Thanks!, and Yup, that's the one, cpt the motor is actually Ford Grey. The Pink Motor was actually a cruel prank,..
Thanks Eric, Yea Ron did a great job!
The Mirrors I got from Nick, They were for sale in the Marketplace for a minute. They are a bolt on replacement head. Here is the link with a couple of pics. I actually didn't know that they existed till I saw them here.

Here's my 91 F250 4x4 that started it's life as a 2wd with Fisher conventional head gear and belt driven Fisher pump...The blade is a 7.5ft Diamond....Much better blade than a Fisher IMHO.

It's a trip edge but not a full trip blade like a Western....The trip system has the springs mounted horizontal just above the cutting edge.

Those are excellent! I was trying to do a google search off the pics but I can't see so well. Do you still happen to have the boxes with any model numbers etc?
