Good site. Also you could E:Mail or call and ask for their Volume 2,1998 "Western's OpenRoads" newsletter. It has an article "Selecting the Right Truck for the Job"
Happy plowing.
P.S. I personally would still get my new ECLBP, my friend will still tow me out of the drive if I plow his for free.
A Hiniker plow might be the solution for someone who wants to take a plow on and off in 5 minutes. No tools are required and everything stays on the plow. The pump,lights and hardware do not end up riding on the front of your truck full time.
This is a work horse that will run all day and beg for more!
Is there a plow package that is designed for the F-150 or the half-ton pickup trucks? I refused to allow myself to wreck this much-money-invested clunker for a snow plow. However, if there is such a package for the half-ton pickup, I will strongly consider buying one.
Thank you for your help!

Professionals should have power windows, since they get snow-packed in a blizzard, and a rear window/rear view mirror defroster.
In addition, the type of plow you get makes a huge difference in the plowing. A Meyers Electrotouch (very quick angle turns) with a plastic (polyethelene??) blade which decreases the friction of snow on the blade and makes it much easier to push aside is the best I've used. However, I just bought a Snow-Way plastic blade with downpressure. Its much lighter and also detaches very easily.
Never put chains on a plow truck. That's how you break axles. Studded snows will work fine and much more reliably. They will also break traction before you break the truck. Change them after the snow season and they will last many seasons.
I ordered a new 3/4 ton Chevy on October 24 with all the above options, but I haven't heard a word about when it might come in. I'm about ready to give up on them. Good thing it hasn't snowed much this year. Last winter we got 190% of that 52 foot average. I was plowing, awake or asleep, all winter long.
I just don't understand this 'Snow Plow' thing. What is it? And more importantly, why does the 'Snow' have to be plowed? ;-)
Today the weather was crummy. It only got up to 78 degrees (Lately its been in the mid 80s.) and there were just enough clouds over the Pacific to make a beautiful sunset. I sure hope it warms up tomorrow so I can wax my truck. ;-)
