I'm interested in a Chevy truck for sale around here. It's in better shape than my F150 (which, so far, has served me well).

The question is, what would needed to fit my plow mount and everything that goes with it on that new truck?

I know it'll fit any 80-96 Ford pickup like a glove, and I'm also looking for a Ford, but since my criteria are a bit restrictive, I've widened the "make/model" field and so a GMT400 or Ram would also be fine. Besides, I love GMT400s pickups (briefly owned one already) and wouldn't hate to have one again in the driveway.

I'm pretty sure 'doh' will have my answer (thanks in advance ) and obviously anyone else is welcome too.

Of course any plow thats on a Ford will not fit a Chevy without some mods or something as simple yet $pendy as a new push bar aka mounting carton and a different wiring harness. Depending on what kind/model of plow you have and exactly what vehicle it came off of and what vehicle it will go on it will
be a unknown as to what is involved.......................

For example I swapped my Western Ultra mount plow from my 01 chevy 2500 to a 04 2500. The only parts to swap were the push bar (mounting carton) and I had to purchase a different truck side wiring harness at a $pendy $400
bucks!
A few years later I swap the same plow from my 04 to a new 07 GMT-900 2500 and needed a new style push bar $450 as well as BOTH truck side wiring harnesses $500 and new $250 wiring module as Western stopped using relays and a new set of plow lights as well at $250 along with labor it cost $1700 !!!!
Still cheaper than $5000 US for a new plow rig!

So its a crapshoot on what it would cost to swap a plow rig onto a different
truck. But with a little knowhow and help it can be done and sometimes
cheaply~! Good luck!.........geo

As sonjaab stated, truck side mount (or a visit to your local welding shop which is just as pricey) Look for one on E Bay or plow sites. Such as http://www.plowsite.com/

And a truck side wire harness. Making sure it relates to the headlight system on the GMT 400. (sealed beams/comp)

I have plowed many miles with a GMT 400, the only fault other than normal wear, the CV Boots. Best luck I have had are Napa's rubber boots.
