I need to start shopping for a plow truck

I seen a small truck like a Geo Tracker (it wasnt but maybe a Suzuki sidekick?) with a plow on it for $2K. Looks like a nice little truck.

It is also legal to plow any city street as long as you have a contract with city, county, township, or county... One of my buddies used to plow with his truck for the city on small alleyways and back roads that the larger trucks wouldn't fit down.
And yes an older body style Dodge 3/4 ton would be great, but for some odd reason around here they seem to be more of a collector item and everybody holds on to them or sells them at a really high rate... Had I known this were all going to play out like this ahead of time around the end of summer I saw a newer style Dodge 1 ton with a V-10 (back when gas was sky high) had like 180+K miles on it and was in really decent shape (only minor rust)... They were asking $1000 bucks for it... but hind sight 20/20 and all that

Those cummins diesels last forever...

I know a guy who has a mid/late 90's ram v10 3/4 ton 4wd automatic, the body is pretty banged up, but you could probably get it for 1,000-1,500... Pm me if you want the number... Of course its here in missouri though...

That'd be great for the inner city driveways that are all a very tight squeeze, but don't think it would work well for entire subdivisions.
