I haven't seen any, other than what someone put together. I don't think they had them. They always have those OshKosh, FMC, Sicard(Snowblaster) trucks. The closest would be this 1964 Sicard Snowmaster jr. I have. Originally had a rear engine and front blower. They modified it and put a 11ft road plow on the front. Has fulltime 4wd, right-hand steering, non-synchro 4 speed tranny w/converter. You can put it in any gear and then stand on the brakes just like an auto. The truck(the company calls it a "tractor") is onlt 5ft wide.

I know there is a M35A2C, at Havre De Grace, MD with a 10 foot plow and a sand spreader in the bed at the motor pool used for clearing the base. It is all neat and tidy with 24 volt system throughout.

Yes they did back in the late 50s and 60s but ended up using purpose built plows made by Oshkosh and Walter and FWD.Pg33.jpgPg29.jpgPg30.jpgPg31.jpgPg32.jpgHere's some photos from an old report showing a couple different kind
