1984 K30 Project Plow Truck

I'm going to succumb to pressure and start a build thread for the plow truck I bought.

For years I've plowed with a borrowed K5, but needed to come up with a different plow this year. I watched for plows on craigslist with the intention of mounting one on my 1991 V3500, but most of the old plows that came up for sale are no longer supported by the manufacturers, so truck side mounts are not available. New plows are $6-7k! Well it was early November, and we already had snow on the ground, so I needed a plan.

Each night I get a public surplus auction email listing local auctions ending soon. One night I saw an add ending the next day at 3:00 PM. 1984 one ton chevy plow truck. There was only one picture, and the description gave very little information. 250 six cylinder, runs well. I called the maintenance supervisor the next day. He told me it had a 9 or 10 foot flatbed, liftgate, 7 or 8 foot plow, ran great, but couldn't tow a trailer, which they needed it to do. My wife was sleeping until 3:00 PM because she was on night shift, so I made the executive decision and put a bid in. Winner!

This was the photo posted on the auction site.
