Snow Plow Conversion
Help with adapting a myers snow plow to a 1996 F-150 4x4 with handling package.
My truck has a 3400 pound front axlew/ handling package. If any one know of a mounting kit for a myers snow plow that will fit this truck. The sway bar is in the way for the standard myers package. Any infor would be greatly appriciated. Thanks RJ[B][I][SIZE=3][SIZE=4]

I have the same proplem, Myers F250 Mount on '95 F150.
I got a Myers plow w/angle and a F250 Mount which I bought used.
I'm in the process of modifing the F250 mount.
My only question is, would it effect the airbag if the modified bracket is mounted to the bumper mounts. I noticed that the frame for the bumper is ribbed, made to collapse for a front end collision. I would hate to start plowing and deploy the air bag. Other than that, I think that installing the F250 mount on a F150 shouldn't be to difficult.
Modifications I'm currently working on with my Myers F250 Frame: cut off rear mounts and add plates that can be bolted onto the frame that protects/covers the sway bar. and added angle iron to mount from bumper mounts down to where Myers front mounts are.

I bought a used plow...set up the hydraulics myself and took the mounting brackets to my local welding shop and said "make it work" 6 years now it's been working great. Check your local resources there is a lot of inovative people out there.
