Hi Everyone,
I’m contemplating a “kit bash” project this winter. Does anyone know or can guess how difficult it’d be to mount the snow plow from AMT’s Ford dump truck /snowplow kit onto the frame of the Auto Car dump truck? I’ve always liked the “rugged” look of the Auto Car rigs and I thought that the snow plow would look good on it. Thanks everyone.

Should not be a big issue. The real plow mount slides over the front axle. AMT simplified it and you glue the rails flush to the frame. You can make a slotted plate attachment to slide over the axle if you wish. Front portion of the mount fits into tabs on the bumper. You can easily make those with styrene. I just finished the AMT Ford Snow Plow kit. I’ll try to post some pics at some point.

Thanks! I think that I’ll give it a try. Can’t wait to see photos of your Ford snow plow. Take care.
