There should be a belt driven hydraulic fluid pump/resevoir mounted somewhere there and it's probably part of the bracketry for it. The plow pump valve body is mounted under the hood on the LH inner fender by the looks. There are cables leading from the joystick in the cab to the vlave body, then hydraulic lines off the valve body to the plow frame lift and blade angle hydraulics.

I hope that reverse 4x4 disengagement problem is a simple fix, a 4x4 plow truck with only 2wd reverse ain't worth a damn which why it went cheap. Yankee mentality say "Truck no work, truck no use". It's all about utility value up here. Plow setup alone is probably worth at least $500. I'm guessing with it's problems you paid around $750 for it.

It does look like a good start and with some fixing it'll be a good yard dog. I'm a little leary of the newer paint as evidenced by overspray. You won't be able to kill that 305 V6 or kill yourself with it (speed is not it's selling point )


All in all, it looks to be fairly unmolested, good score.
