2 years ago I stopped by a customer to pick up a truck for repairs. The keys for compound where next door at an auto shop. I have talked to these guys for the last 10 years on and off. i always saw this green chev in the yard with a western plow on it. This day the guy asks me if I want to buy a plow truck.Asked how much and he said make me an offer.I had just gotten $500.oo out of the bank and pulled it out of my pocket.i didn't have it all the way out and it was in his hands.I figured OK this is going to hurt.He told me it would need a clutch because it was grabbing when you let it out to start off.Told him I pickup the truck in a couple of days.He said fine ,but he had the sold the business and had to move everything out soon.Went over to look at the truck for the first time.The truck is 1979 chev heavy 1/2 ton with a 350 four speed 4X4 long box,79,000kms on it,clean and all there. the plow was a 7 1/2 ft western with full hydraulics and straight, the interior was clean the only things wrong that i could see quickly was it needed a rocker panel.Started right up ran like a top. I drove the truck over to the shop got my dealer plate and said I'll be back for the other truck later.There was no way I was leaving that truck there.I had to put a set of front brake pads on the first year. replace the clutch after two years of plowing.I plow 47 country estate driveways and 5 kms of private road. Nothing like a good old chevy for doing hard work.I have two other 4x4 that I use but this one is my favorite,
