Harley, You'll just have to do as I did, and build your own Snowplow truck. I built one for much less money than buying a new one, and then having to modify it to be usable. Older Chevies, with the 'dangerous' side-mounted fuel tanks, are available in junk yards. Carbeurated 350 CI engines are available everywhere, and many after-market parts are available to increase horsepower and efficiency. Mine will run on nearly any flammable liquid that I put in it.
