My '85 F350 diesel dually, with auto trans, has a stakebody dump bed (single cylinder). I believe it has a 411 rear end (in any event, it's winding out at highway speeds, and the speedometer is off for sure). I've been searching around for a used plow, but haven't found one yet. Maybe I'll buy new. Would like any recommendations from experienced people as to setup / width and type of blade, and any modifications/ warnings / suggestions for my particular truck.
Being in Central Pennsylvania, snowfall is not assured, though we sometimes get a couple of decent snowfalls (quite different from NE PA, which has the lake effect and much more snow) .
I do have an offer of $55/hr to sub for a large company (plowing only... more if I get a salt spreader... would like recommendations on that, too) . But with my contacts, I could probably get some small lots, private drives and long driveways.
Any help would be appreciated. I've enjoyed reading many of the other threads... very nice to have this resource on the 'net.
