Sam: Any plow works. Like any plow on any truck, you have to set up the electrical if its an electrical plow and weld on the plow bar (where the plow hard mounts back to the frame). Don't go cheap on this connection as this is where all the abrupt energy is absorbed during plow impact, and a typical power wagon is very heavy. Depending on the age of your truck, your truck may be 6Volt so you may have to deal with that as well, changing to 12volt. Lastly, if it has an alternator, and depending upon the type of plowing you do, you may need to go with a high output alternator. For instance, our plowing is up, down, right left constantly in close quarters and it takes a toll on the battery. Guys with long driveways don't have to move it up and down as often so the alternator is able to keep the battery up.
You may try Kingsbury Auto Supply 775-588-2441; fax 775-588-8906. Carson City, NV maybe. I think the fellers name was Shawn Thomas. I think they have the biggest plow inventory available in the area, new and used. Years ago we used them for a plow on our CJ-5.
