Re: Plow Trucks

There is no how, no way that I would plow in a square body, The cab corners start to bubble at the very thought of salt!!

Re: Plow Trucks

You don't plow with any truck you want to keep show quality. Plowing or not,washing out body cavities is the key...even making better drain holes to allow rinsing/draining better. Best to make a little hole than to be given a large one. The draw back with that plan is if it's too freakin cold to run water!
I don't have a plow truck these days,but I think I have some pictures saved of others'.

Re: Plow Trucks

I'll take some pics this week of mine.
It is a '78 K15 which was a beautiful one owner example. I washed it religiously but the salt got into any nook and cranny and every panel is a rusted mess now.
