Looking for a snow plow
I just bought a 78 f250 and I can find a used plow for it and it seems nobody make anything that bolts straight up. Is there a company I missed or is there something on the market that is close that I could do minor alterations to make it fit.

Your best bet will be to find a used one...Fisher, Meyers, & I believe Western all made plows specifically for the 77.5-79 F250's.
I have a Meyer's setup off of a 78 F250 in upstate NY if you're interested in taking a road trip.

I agree the price is good. I paid $300 for mine which used to be my grandpas but that's another story. My buddy usually sells them for around $800 and they sell all the time.
My opinion $350 is a deal since these older plows almost always need something. I remember the when mine was new and how little it was used yet it still gives me fits. It's a 1994 model and needs resealed, new hoses etc. Last winter I found out the hard way when it kept freezing because of water in the oil.

I just drove there and asked the owner about it. It's at an auto-body shop. I pulled in and the bright yellow 4x4 was gone but the plow remained. The man said he sold the truck to a guy in Traverse City about 2 years ago and the guy just finally picked it up last week. That explains why I never saw a for sale sign on it.
Unfortunately he is keeping the plow for his Bronco as he needs a plow for his shop's yard. Sorry.
