Congrats Dunedog! :cheers:
Was checking out Snowbears site. Didn't see any mounts listed for our vans. Did you have to get custom mounts made for your plow?
Thanks, Bill

Bill, I also saw they no longer list the mounts for the Astro and Safari vans. They used to list and make them for our vans. I bet if you called them, they could either make a set or have a set in the warehouse.

Thanks Dean, I thought I remembered seeing the mounts listed a few years back. Just a curiousity at the moment.Not sure that I'm ready to drop at a minimum $1600.
Besides I have 2 perfectly good working manual snowplows that are only 13 & 12 years old! :muhaha:
Although they sure do complain alot! :-({|=

Yah ... my shovels do that as well ... :cheers:

Congrats Jim! I have always liked the look of your ride - clean, stock-looking and yet has the "Something is different about this truck but I just cannot put my finger on it ..." !!! LOVE IT!

Thanks goes out to those that make this forum possible. =D>
Also the fact that this forum remains somewhat sane and helpful....,which is not to be confused with the sanity of some of the members. :-k
I have enjoyed meeting those of you at the NECO's I have attended and to be able to call you friends.I look forward to meeting more members to add onto that list.
I have found it enjoyable to have an extended "family" based around something as weird as ownership of a vehicle.
I'm not all that sure some of my friends quite understand me on this but....it's good as you get older to keep opening doors and trying new things,... and some of you really keep the spark going. Thanks :supz:

PS. TLow gets my nod for VOM

Jim,
Did you have your lower body cladding painted or did it come that way?
I just gotta have that look on my van!
That pic from Dolly Sods is the Sh!t...

The cladding was what came on the van.
Didn't have the 235's or 3" at time of Dolly pic. Noticed I hadn't flipped my plow frame yet either.
