Got a few new toys today!

Finally went and picked up my plow today as well as a few other toys. Ill Post pics tomorrow. Along with the Fisher 8' Plow, i got a nice Stainless drop down rear bumper, and some new mirrors.

Now my first question is on the plow. It came off an 88 F250, and im putting it on my 86. It should bolt right on I hope??

You may have to make a few adjustments on the mount.
I can't remember for sure, but I think there was a small difference between 86 and 87 frames when the body changed.

It should be close enough that any changes will be small.

Thanks for the reply, ill find out about the plow in the spring.
The bumper ill be mounting tomorrow. I have to have the bolts for the old bumper cut off as well as remove the reciever hitch. According to the manufacturer of the new bumper, when its mounted correctly its concidered a class 5 hitch. It only has a place for a ball, so i will have a reciever tube welded to it in the future.

Here are some pics, of the bumper and plow.

The plow will be worth putting on, when its warmer out! lol For now ill stick to using the old dodge.

Im about to order a return line kit and new beru glow plugs. Where is the best and cheapest place to get both?
