Was just going threw this topic (for the 4th time..) and thought, since you hooked the '92, to the 2000's plow, why couldn't you put the 11ft Boss on the 2000? For the little snow falls, I'd bet you would love the extra coverage. Just and idea Alaska...

i think the reason he got the 8'2" was because the 9'2" was getting pretty tired, correct me if i'm wrong?
Yep, the 9.2 is sooo wore out,... every pin, bushing, etc is crooked & egg-shaped, cracks all over the place, etc,... I'd sure like to see the mountain of snow that plow has moved in the last 6 years. It's gonna take a lot of work to get that plow tight again, but maybe later on when it's -58° below zero, that will be a project I can work on. but for sure, I could & would put it on the new truck too,...

Who do you call if you have a break down out there in never never land? I don't ever see another truck with you in your pics.

Never Never land normal does not have cell service.
Actually, we have cell phone coverage in most places around here now,.. but there are some stretches of highway that are dead. I can only remember one time that I had to call a buddy to give me a pull.... & that was only because I didn't have my chains with me at the time,... I had kinda slid off into the ditch, with solid ice on the road,... and I just couldn't get myself out,... all other breakdowns I always was able to get home on my own,.... :nod:

I think that's why he drives chevy's, because he hasn't had that problem.

AK boss, I noticed you said you replaced the clutch in your older truck, are all of them stick shift? What about engines? Do you have a thread where you've got all that posted, or an info thread on your preparing the 2000 truck? Awesome pics.

I believe they are all 5.7 (350ci) small blocks with nv4500 transmissions (manual 5spd)
The only Chevy auto transmission I have had is the TH 400 in the '90 dually I have right now. I had one 4.3 V-6, otherwise all the others have been 5-speeds & 350's, like Mark said. The 5.7/5-speed has proven itself to me to be a combo that will out-live the truck,.. even for plowing, & so at this point, I have little interest in taking the risk to see if some other combo will last as long. wesport

Well, our snowfall on the ground at this point is somewhere between 15 inches & close to 2 feet, depending on where you're at. I've plowed steady now for 4 days, and still have as many jobs left to do as I did 3 days ago. It pretty much snowed steady, with occ let-ups for over 2 days,... so, altho it was late, when the snow came, it came. I've used the '92 Chevy with the new Boss 8.2 for the last 3 days (and it's virtually paid for already,... payup), and the '92 has had a "Bret Favre" attitude the whole time,... "retirement,.. no way!! I can still play! " :D

It's been below zero for most of this time (-27° yesterday morning) which generally makes for small flakes and more dense snow, but it still plows easy,... wesport

During the heaviest snowfalls, the temps would go up to about +10°, which made it seem almost warm out,.... but already in some of my narrow lanes, a V-blade would be the tool of choice to bust into with the least amount of effort.... :nod:

Gotta make everything as wide as possible the first time,.. because once these banks set up, they'll be a lot tougher to move again,....

I already have piles as high as the truck, and windrows taller the the plow,... and the snow is supposed to be over now for a few days,... so maybe I can finally catch up,... and get a normal night's sleep one or twice before next May,... :waving::sleeping:

Funny.. I noticed something in all these pictures.. your always using the correct tool for the job.. correct plow setup for each place you go too. No wonder your stuff lasts so long :)

I know people trying to fit a 9 foot blade through a walgreens drive through around here.. doeswork very well thats for sure.

Keep them coming. Now I have my wife looking at these pictures since she used to live in Alaska when she was a kid!
