Finally, some pictures. I bought this 2005 Tacoma at a salvage yard. I had to beat some dents out of the roof, replace the back with a flatbed. Added 5100 bilsteins, new leaf pack in the rear, sprayed raptor liner on the whole thing. New lights, and fenders. Some bits here and there and presto. I really needed a truck like this. I only have a work van (plumbing/heating). I also wanted something to clear my parents driveway as well as ours and a rental. Best of all, it will pull the cobalt I found just before christmas. A trip is being planned once school ends for the 6 year old this year.

you pretty well convinced me on the flat bed. looks good.

info on the snow plow set up please.
Thanks. Its a home built flatbed. It took some time to get started, but once I had the basic layout, it went quite smooth. I need to get the fuel filler finalized and some mounting points for the gas cans we got from AT. Its something I needed for awhile especially hauling boilers out, wood etc. The van just won't cut it. The fleetwood Cobalt should tow pretty good.
Its a snowdogg MD75 from Buyers. They make a lot of things like sanders,plows, etc.. There web site has a plow finder for your vehicle. This is the 1st plow ever for me. I went with the MD75 model just because its 6" wider than the MD68 and it was only 20lbs heavier. I was going with the snoway but they went from a 5 to a 2 year warrenty. Did you get the pictures I sent?? I've lost all of my e-mail addresses when the hard drive felt a stray EMP LOL. We had to replace it.
