Yes I said plow truck. This is for my 02 F-250 Super Duty. I converted an old school Diamond 8 Foot plow to mate to a Fisher Minute Mount set up. I have a lot of hours making the A-frame adapt to the Fisher set up, but I got it done. I am also building my own wire harness for the lights and the pump set up. Here is a relay panel I made that bolts directly to the Ford radiator support. I do not like drilling holes if I don't have to.
TIGed the "bushings" and then counter bored them for socket head cap screws.

This is just a mock up for the conversion. It is a heavy duty 8FT old Diamond Plow. It tops in at about 700 plus Lbs. I have it all apart and I am going to prime and paint it this week.

Primed and painted the plow using SEM products. Came out pretty good. You really have to let it cure for over 24 hrs. Got some smudges in the black paint from handling it. No big deal it is a plow.
Here are some pics.

No, you need one of the V shaped plows. They work better for pushing cars out of the way. ;D
