Comments
A good plow truck in the rust belt is supposed to be horribly rusty but very trusty. I hope this Dodge never gets exposed to salt because that would be a shame.
Never seen one of these, seen the sno-fiter for sale on the internet. Cool
With the factory plow set up you you got a larger radiator and tramsmission cooler. Unstopable in the snow
That is a remarkable plow truck being almost 40 years old. There is a bunch of rust, though, just waiting to pop through. Just look at the rear fender well and that door bottom. If you drive it in the rain, it’ll come right out.
Not the first year for declutchable hubs, they were there in the seventies and maybe earlier, my ’74 had them. Those buckets are from early eighties vans, I have the same ones in my ’79 B100. They out of an ’83. Buckets like in the Lil Red were first available in the early seventies on special order.
I heard that it was possibly the first year WARN hubs got in the game with DODGE? Not sure though
Sweet Truck !
A truck with snowplow is a. NoNo at any mileage!
Thanks ill pass, and so should be anyone with the ability of abstract thought
You do have a point.
Anyone else would have taken the plow off before attempting sale.
Power Wagons are pretty tough though and it looks like this one has lead an easy life.
This is a snow commander a factory snow plow truck and is sold as is. Takin off the plow would be nothing short of a lie.
Unless prove figure 100k pmus miles. Odometer on this!truck only had 5 digits
Yep…the mileage certificate actually means very little, just as carfax…both are owner written with no true proof for mileage or in the case of carfax being
accident free… Looking at the condition of the engine components I would be more inclined to say this odometer is on it’s second spin…I could be wrong but unless it belonged to myself or a neighbor I would be leery…
nice truck….but “little” surface rust? better put on your glasses.
‘Little’ surface rust is a gauge of how much frame rust there is.
little rust = a lot
No rust = plenty of rust (we just don’t see it)
I do not care if its a factory order plow truck. If I had the money to buy it then that plow is coming off
