Still have to wire the lights and fb antenna. Used pulled sprue instead of the chromed kit one.  Taillights to do already have the black trim on them. But debating if I should chrome them or not.

wiring on the bar completed.

Thank you.. probably will spray the plow today after work. 

[Scalper]

Been kinda in a slump.  Back at it.   Plow hardware getting installed.  Plow looking rough.  Will do some more weathering on it.  Here’s how she sits now

Interior came out really good. I like the weathering on the plow. Tail lights look nice too. ?

Hard to believe a shiny truck like that would have a crusty old plow! Nice work!

I believe it!  Plow and truck bought different times. Adds to the story!

[Scalper]

That plow looks nasty, as it should! I built just the plow part a while back for use with a Jeep, but... then my Ford Louisville Snow Plow kit was supposed to be done for LAST winter...nice to see that SOMEONE can resurrect a stalled project!  Weathering is fun, I need to get back to it, thanks for spurring my memory!

Yes indeed. I was supposed to have this ready by winter... has all summer to prepare. ..

Thanks that’s what I will do.   
yup nice big round injector mark 

[Scalper]

Decided to do the mirrors like Tom suggested also saw a few others that where done like this.   Much easier less stress. 

sitting waiting for all the glue to dry. Plow attached

Really Looking great, Andre. Your weathering on this kit is really well done! And, I am a sucker for green trucks.

Bucket will be filled with salt.  Added fire extinguisher.   Now the plow.   Looks bare.  Does not look right.    Missing hydrolic ram ?  Chains. Going to have to find something to use for chains.  That could take a while now since we are heading towards another lockdown.  Pic as she sits now. 

thanks for looking all comments welcomed. 

[FLHCAHZ]

That is really looking great!

That is supposed to be a Western Unimount plow I believe. So the smaller cylinder on the right in the picture is the hydraulic cylinder. There should be one chain going from the arm above it down to the plow frame. You can get chain in the jewelry making section at Micheals or a hobby shop that has military stuff. Video on identifying their systems here. Edit: Oh…and the truck looks great Andre!
