You don't have a good, solid frame to attach the plow to on the 151. The
unibody construction would have too much flex for a snowplow.

You can put a small one on it and use different tires but remember when
it
rusts, (and it will terribly) you have destroyed a piece of history that
is
non-renewable and 151's are getting to be very pricey. Personally, I
don't
understand what you are thinking and why would you want to use a
collectors'
item for this purpose. Did you pay $50 for it; and can't you find
anything
else??? If it has a nice body I'll buy it from you for the small price
you
paid for it and you can find a rusty CJ-6 for the same purpose. Jeeps
don't
make good snowplows !!! Julian Burke
