Those trucks were absolutely animals. I had one 1978 almost identical the I worked as a kid plowing with and then I got it but the frame was to far got.
I LOVE it! Now THAT'S a REAL pick up truck! Wish I had it. I saw one parked in the back of a local garage/body shop several years ago but it must of been rode hard, all rusted and beat up, but that's what they were for.
I'm a chevy guy through and through. But that, my friend, is a sweet original find. Especially for a truck that was destined to be beaten on and rotted out within a decade of it being purchased.
Beautiful truck! It's nice to see it working like it should. There is a guy that daily drives a Sno Commander near me. You simply don't see them here in the Northeast anymore.
beat to death is right you should see the sno commander on my channel. poor thing was toasted. Where on earth did you get this truck? Ive only seen several in my life and all but one were located in junkyards in PA (Im from CT) and they were 1/2 ton ramchargers and shortbeds
Beautiful old dodge. i had a 78 m880 that was a retired school truck, so whoever had it before me put the plow on it. Meyer's of course. Had it for 4 years and it was my baby. really couldn't put a snow bank in front of it because it would go right through it. Pulled a few vehicles out with it and needless to say it would pull a house if you wanted it to. not to many of the ol girls around. NICE TRUCK!!!
Do you find the OE style snow tires work better in snow/ice or the new technology style. I am looking for a set for my 75 W200 sno fiter. Love the old school look but wonder if the lugs are too stiff for anything other than deep snow.
The OE Goodyear Xtra Grip Hi-Milers are good in deep snow but not as good on ice and frozen snow. They are made from a harder rubber than modern snow tires. They also don't flex and conform to the surface like radials do. And they don't have all the little lines and sipes in the tread. But they are cool and they look amazing on the truck. Really brings you back to the seventies when you see them.
You just confirmed what I thought. I will run the old school set up just because I have them. Sucks that the new tires work well but don't give it the correct look I want. Keep up the great video's. Maybe we will run into each other at the Barrington truck show.
AWESOME> Great resto, right down to the tires! Sounds good, guessing glass pack muffler? Need more action vids, a walk around and better tagging for the vid. Dodge Snow trucks miss out on being represented. Guessing New Hampshire by the inspection stickah?
+Dodge Power Wagon WOW, drooling. if you ever would sell it please let me know,. And I would love to see it sometime. Im up north 2x a year. Totally legit, family man.
Yeah, it's not a resto, other than a couple touch-ups on the bed wheel wells and a good polish job. True barn find. The original owner bought it new in 73 and had a little farm in NH. Poor fella passed away in 78. The Truck only had 10k on it when he passed. His wife moved it into the barn and it sat there for 25 years. There was a brief period in the early 2000's when the old lady's grandson drove it a little and ran the odometer all the way up to 14k :) I have the title and old registration and a few receipts, (oil change) etc. so the mileage is verified. I've had it for 5 years and now it has 25k on it. Still starts and runs like a new truck.
What a great video watching that truck work & doing what it was intended to do, & so effortlessly.
Thats awsome i use to use a 79 super duty f250 truck to move snow off our road but since the plow needs over hauled we haven't used it since
Beautiful restoration.
my brothers truck stock barn find 14k miles
@@ProjectGRX wow, that's amazing!
Awesome truck!
Pretty truck!!!
Awesome thanks!
Sweet Dodge
My grandpa had one in the early 90's. First truck I can remember him having.

I am a big FORD truck guy but i sure do like this year of Dodge 4x4 . And the snow plow just makes it that much more of such a neat old truck 😊
Looks like a 78....they really didn't change much
Sweet ride. I would be proud to have one that clean
Beautiful truck

Chevy guy bragging or complaining. Chevy's are junk so complaining
@@jayrobarge1886 all domestics are junk that’s why I drive a Mitsubishi
@@maximumhardcore4362 lmao my Mitsubishi was the worst car I've ever owned by far
Wow a actually operating snow-fighter .
Beautiful rig right there!

Yeah. they are rare, and usually beat to death. thanks for the compliment

Better see this in my garage when I wake up.
Nah bro it'll be in mine 😆
Just drove one of these today but a 1975
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would love to see more 2 mintue or longer video's on this beautiful Dodge sno fighter 4x4 .
I'd give one leg and arm for this fine
Machine. My little 96 dak does great, but this things a dream.
Yummy
I find it interesting that it doesn't have the full float rear-end
these were the best trucks ever made my 75 did the work of a 1 ton
Well, I am impressed with how well it pushes snow, especially when swap on my 31" Goodyear Wrangler Dura Trac radials
Thumbs up X 10, to a nice truck.
Awesome truck! I have a 79 snow commander and have been looking all over for the stripes but I can't find them anywhere

sweet machine
this is amazing carmarion cobaretti
Thanks
Does this have front and rear lockers?
No lockers. Open diff in the front and possibly limited slip in the back. I don't beat on it but both rear tires will spin out on dirt
Where did you get the original Hi Milers?
They took me a couple of years to hunt them down. I found an older gentleman who had them at his house. I got lucky
74 is it for sale and how much call me
I have a w200 crewcab dana 60s no rust for sale in Oregon 😳
