I bought this truck for $22 at auction.  the plow and two sets of tires and rims came with the truck.  The truck did not run.  I installed a new starter and solenoid, poured a little gas down the carberator and it started right up.   The plow works great.  the driverside of the plow frame was cut away to fit around the steering case.  this made the plow frame week and it broke (hence the lower side)

This truck is an excellent plow truck,  I made my own set of tire chains for the rear out of old Semi-chains.  They deffinately won't break.  the fuel tank is behind the cab.  I built a wooden toolbox to keep the rain and weather away from the tank.

The motor has a bad rear seal on the crankshaft,  Oil leaks out once the engine is hot and drips directly onto the exhaust manifold.  The carberator also has a few issues once in awhile.  Gas sometimes runs out and onto the engine. It hasn't caught fire yet but a fire extinquisher is handy in the cab. 

 

Future plans;  I want to take the motor out and perform a valve job, and intall new seals and gaskets. I also plan on making a new plow frame on the driveside.
