Need help with a plow please !!
I don't know much about plows other than I need one badly before the next winter. I have a driveway too large for my 8hp Snapper snowblower. The last winter storm, 2 feet of snow took me 5 hours to clear. I simply don't have the cash for new 3500 bucks or so, yikes. I found a local guy with a complete Myers setup that came off a 97, mine is a 93 f150. Will this fit and/or is there a mount I can just buy to fit my rig? I need to go and look at this like tomorrow so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

if you know how to do light fabrication. Im sure you can MAKE it fit. but direct fit. Probably not.
My dad owns a 97 and i own a 96, So tomorow ill go out and take a peak and see if they are any bit similar.

The plow should fit. The frames are different & you will need a different mount. F150's are usually not recomended for more then personal plowing. Try finding your mount here http://www.meyerproducts.com/plows101/mounts.asp

I called a local plow place that told me I would need a different mount and wiring harness and it would be like another grand. I think I'll be better off gettin a f250 out of the bargain news with a plow on it already and would still be cheaper than a new plow. They told me f150's are not supposed to have a plow because the front end is generally too light unless it's beefed up.

My last plow truck lasted 18 yrs that way and did a LOT of other work around my property ( hauling trash, pulling stumps)
